I don't have much luck with powdered egg replacer-to me it leaves an odd "off" taste. What else can I use in this recipe? Thanks!!

Once the egg replacer is combined with the warm water, it should then be combined with the WET ingredients! I use flax meal in hot water to replace oil, and sometimes combine the flax meal with the powdered egg replacer, and THEN mix them with hot water. Hope this helps!
