Wonderful Vegan Hard Boiled Deviled Eggs That Are Soy Free

 These vegan hard-boiled eggs taste just as good as the real thing without the cholesterol or the cruelty. They are so easy to make with a few simple ingredients. The best vegan eggs.


A year ago at Expo West, I was introduced to a plant-based hard-boiled egg and it was love at first bite. I have been craving these vegan eggs ever since and searching my local stores for plant-based eggs without any luck. I was so excited when I discovered a recipe for vegan hard-boiled eggs and I knew that I had to make them.

It was a discovery of Wunder Eggs that inspired me to make these vegan deviled eggs. Since my local grocery stores don't carry them, I had to make them. If you have a chance to buy Wunder Eggs, you need to try them as they are so good and taste like real hard-boiled eggs. For those meat eaters, who say "Why don't you eat the real thing?", I say to them ~ my body is healthier on a plant-based diet.

 I just love that there are so many delicious plant-based products and recipes, so I never feel deprived when eating. Even with my many food allergies, I find plenty to eat thanks to all the companies that make allergy-friendly food. This plant egg recipe is perfect for those with food allergies as it contains no dairy, soy, wheat, or nuts. 

It all started with a vegan deviled egg salad recipe

 My inspiration for creating these delicious vegan eggs all started with my discovery of a Vegan Deviled Egg Salad recipe on Instagram. I saw a recipe video and when I searched for recipes for vegan deviled egg spread, some of the recipe sites had instructions on how to make vegan egg whites. 

After I made the deviled egg salad, I knew that I had to make the white portion of the deviled eggs. The problem was I did not have all the ingredients that were needed to make the plant-based egg white recipe. 


 The recipe needed agar agar powder and an egg mold. So I ordered the silicone egg mold, the agar agar powder, and the special black salt that tastes like eggs on Amazon.

Hard-boiled eggs without the cholesterol or the cruelty

What I love about these delicious eggs is the fact that they have no cholesterol and no chickens were harmed. They are loaded with plenty of plant-based nutrition. You will love how they resemble real eggs and no chickens were needed.

For the Yellow Part

How to Make Vegan Hard-Boiled Eggs

This recipe has a couple of different parts and steps to make the finished product. It is really 2 recipes in one. You have to make the vegan egg white part in the egg mold and let it set before you can fill it with the vegan deviled eggs.

Making the vegan egg white

The plant-based egg white is made with plant-based milk and agar agar powder. If you have never heard of agar agar, it is a vegan gelatin. So the agar powder is what transforms the milk into the white part. The Kala Namak or black salt gives the white part the egg taste. 

Making the vegan egg yolk

While you are waiting a couple of hours for the white halves to form, you can make the yellow yolky part. The vegan deviled egg salad is made from chickpeas, vegan mayo, nutritional yeast, and some other ingredients. You simply combine the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Then once the white section is done, you fill them with the vegan egg salad.

Recipe Tips

~ Place the filled egg white molds in the fridge for 2 or more hours. 

~ Remove the egg whites from the mold once they are firm

~ Use a half teaspoon to remove a section from the egg white for the egg yolk filling

~ Make sure the egg yolk filling is room temperature or colder before filling the egg whites

~ Use a pastry bag for the yellow egg filling to make it easier to fill the whites or a small melon baller

~ Serve the vegan eggs on the egg mold

~ Place leftover eggs in the fridge for up to a week

~ Sprinkle the egg with salt, paprika, or everything bagel spice seasoning

~ Use the leftover "egg" white sections and combine them with leftover egg salad and pickle relish for a delicious egg salad

 Deviled eggs are so delicious and I love it when someone brings them to a party. While these eggs made into deviled eggs are so tasty, they are also hard to make. Deviled eggs are a time-consuming recipe that never gives good results. 

 The one time that I made deviled eggs from hard-boiled eggs, I had a hard time taking the shells off the eggs. So most of my deviled egg containers looked awful. After wasting several hours making deviled eggs, they did not look that good. They were not worthy to bring to a party. So I vowed to never make a deviled egg recipe again.

 Several years later, I decided to follow a plant-based diet and decided to not eat eggs. My new meal plan needed delicious recipes that do not contain animal products and I have been busy in the kitchen creating plant-based recipes.

Chickpeas are a wonderful ingredient for vegan copycat recipes

 I think chickpeas are one of my favorite plant-based recipe ingredients for vegan copycat recipes. My favorite recipe that uses chickpeas is vegan tuna. These somewhat nutty-tasting beans can be used in so many different ways to create delicious meatless recipes. Chickpeas are also very adaptable to many different types of textures. They can give a recipe texture or they can be cooked longer to become a creamy protein addition for recipes.

 For this recipe, canned chickpeas will give the creamy texture. If you decide to use dried chickpeas, I recommend cooking them a bit longer so they have a softer texture. The softer texture will give this recipe the creamy taste that you want. Cooking chickpeas in the pressure cooker is super easy. Head here to learn how to cook chickpeas in the pressure cooker.

How to make Vegan Deviled Egg Filling

 Making this delicious vegan spread is super easy. You simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mash them into a creamy spread. You can also use a food processor or a high-speed blender for a creamier texture.  

 If you decide to mash the chickpeas in a bowl, you can use a potato masher, a fork, or the bottom of a glass. This method requires some patience so I recommend using a blender.

Eleven Egg Substitutes For Baking & More

  Cutting back on eggs due to the expensive prices? These 11 egg substitutes can be used in most recipes. These egg substitutes are also great for vegans or when you simply have no eggs in the house.


  How many times have you started a recipe only to find out that you are out of eggs? This has happened to me many times and I have had to knock on neighbors' doors asking to borrow an egg. Sometimes even they are even out of eggs, so that means I have to get dressed and run to the store to buy eggs. Ok, I admit, I live in my pajamas or workout clothes on most days. My teen has been eating a lot of eggs lately in his quest to build up his muscles so every time I want to bake, there are no eggs in the fridge. I also have been using vegan egg replacers in my baking as I have been trying to make my baked goods healthier. When I searched for egg substitutes the other day, I was surprised at how many different egg substitute recipes there were. I was also surprised that I had most of the ingredients in my pantry to make these egg replacers. I finally have a use for that Psyllium Husk that has been in my pantry for quite some time. When I tried these egg replacement recipes in my cookies, black bean brownies, and Chocolate PB Cup pancakes, I could not taste a difference. So now I stock up on the ingredients that I need to make these awesome egg replacers and no longer worry about the teen eating all the eggs.

 So save your egg budget for when you want to eat scrambled eggs or omelets. These egg subs do not cook up like regular eggs or taste like eggs. The egg replacers are best used in recipes for binding purposes. So you can use an egg replacement for baking recipes These mock eggs work wonderfully in cookie recipes to make vegan cookies. The fake eggs also work well in brownie recipes and veggie burgers. You could also replace the eggs in meatloaf with an egg substitute recipe.

Eleven Egg Substitutes For Baking & More

Egg Substitute Recipes are best for
~ Baking
~ Cookies
~ Brownies
~ Veggie Burgers
~ Quick Bread Recipes
~ Meatloaf
~ Cake


Each of these recipes will replace one egg. Add the replacer to the recipe in the same order as noted for the egg in the recipe. These recipes can be doubled.

The way egg replacements work is very simple. Typically fresh eggs are used in baking recipes like cookies to help the ingredients stick together. So an egg sub will work the same way. For example, when you make a chia egg, the water helps the chia seeds swell and stick together. So the chia egg will bind the recipe ingredients together to help them bake correctly. 

 Each of these recipes will replace one egg. Add the replacer to the recipe in the same order as noted for the egg in the recipe. These recipes can be doubled. If the recipe calls for 2 eggs, then use double the ingredients to make 2 egg replacers. Of all the recipes below for egg substitutions, my favorite vegan eggs to use are the ones made with chia seeds or flax seeds. I add chia seeds and flax seeds to my morning vegan protein shake, so I always have these items in my pantry,

Eleven Egg Substitutes To Try

 The upfront cost of the vegan egg ingredients may seem like more money than eggs but it is not. Since you only use a tablespoon of the ingredients to make the vegan eggs, the cost per vegan egg is way cheaper. A pound of chia seeds will make 45 vegan eggs!

1. Chia Egg ~ Buy chia seeds here
       1 tablespoon chia seeds + 3 tablespoons water = 1 egg (stir and let sit for 2 minutes)

2. Flax egg ~ Buy flax seeds here
      1 tablespoon ground flax meal + 3 tablespoons water = 1 egg (stir and let sit for 2 minutes)

3. Psyllium Husk ~ Buy Psyllium Husk here
     1 tablespoon psyllium husk + 3 tablespoons water = 1 egg (stir and let sit for 2 minutes)

4. Oil & baking powder
       2 tablespoons water + 1 tablespoon oil + 2 tablespoons baking powder = 1 egg

5. Baking powder
      2 tablespoons water + 2 tablespoons baking powder = 1 egg



6. Tofu
      1/4 cup of soft tofu = 1 egg

7. Applesauce
    1/2 cup applesauce = 1 egg

8. Banana
      1/2 mashed banana = 1 egg (will make recipes taste like bananas)

9. Homemade Egg Replacer mix (Bulk Recipe)
    2 cups tapioca starch or arrowroot starch
   1/3 cup gluten-free baking powder
   2 1/2 tablespoons baking soda
Mix 1/2 tablespoon egg replacer with 2 tablespoons water to make one egg

10. Baking Soda and Vinegar (for fluffier baked goods)
         1 teaspoon of baking soda mixed with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar = 1 egg
         I don't recommend using this for more than one egg in a recipe 

11. Aquafaba
The hot new egg replacement is bean juice — specifically the liquid that comes in your can of chickpeas. It may not work for everything, but if your recipe calls for egg whites, whip up some aquafaba instead (about 3 tablespoons per replaced egg). For best results, use an unsalted variety of beans.


 So next time you are out of eggs or just want to use a vegan version, this is a great list to post on the fridge so you don't have to go knocking on your neighbor's door or get dressed to run to the store. Now you won't have to take out a loan to buy real eggs!
