The best bit? They only take 10&nbsp;minutes to bake giving you time to put the kettle on to make yourself a cuppa for that 'ahhhhh' moment before the kids come back to decorate them.

How to use egg replacer 
 
If this is your first time using egg replacer, don't worry it's very easy! In this recipe, we've used 'Orgran No Egg Egg Replacer Mix' you can get from Ocado, Amazon, Holland &amp; Barrett, Buy Wholefoods Online, and a few more specialised vegan shops.
The amount in the recipe "1 egg replacer" means the amount of the powder that replaces 1 egg. For the powder we've used (Orgran) that means 1 tsp of egg replacer powder&nbsp;+ 2 tsp of water. The powder from Asda is prepared in a similar way.
