Egg free plant-based solutions for baked goods

Creating an entirely plant-based formulation for baked goods can be complicated by the challenge of replacing eggs, which provide structure, emulsification, flavor, and texture. Fortunately, Merit’s innovations in canola protein have revolutionized formulators’ abilities to replace eggs’ functionality in applications, enabling truly vegan-friendly and gluten-free products that look and taste like they should.

Gluten-Free Bakery


Consumers who follow plant-based AND gluten-free diets have very limited bakery options, as gluten-free applications rely heavily on egg albumen. In these formulations, the presence of eggs helps to make up for the absence of gluten proteins. As such, there are few gluten-free options that are 100% plant-based and that can deliver on taste and texture for consumers. This is where Merit’s canola proteins can help! Manufacturers can now leverage our canola protein for its nucleation and gelation properties to develop gluten-free vegan-friendly formulas that deliver on the taste and texture consumers have come to expect with traditional baked goods.

Concept Selling Features:  

  • Satisfying sensory experience
  • Increased protein fortification
  • Nucleation and gelation from canola protein
