Egg Substitutes; Baking Without Eggs

There are numerous excellent methods to replace eggs in your baked goods. Here, I present 10 different egg substitute options, complete with 1:1 measurements.

EGG SUBSTITUTES (each substitution is ONE egg)

  • applesauce: use 1/4 cup in most baking recipes (unsweetened is best)

  • aquafaba (canned chickpea liquid): use 3 tbsp, whisk until frothy

  • banana: use 1/4 cup mashed banana (gives a banana taste)

  • chia seeds - use 1 tbsp chia seeds & 2.5 tbsp water, this is approximately 1 egg (let sit and gel for approximately 10 minutes), works well in pancakes, waffles, quick breads, cakes, and other baked goods

  • flax seeds: mix 1 tbsp flax seeds & 2.5 to 3 tbsp of water (let sit until absorbed, about 15 minutes) in place of 1 egg, to speed up the absorption use hot water

  • Just Egg/Egg From Plants store bought product (3 tablespoons = 1 egg)

  • prune puree: use 1/4 cup prune puree (or baby food)

  • pumpkin: use 1/4 cup pumpkin or squash puree

  • tofu: use 1/4 cup silken tofu, whisk until smooth

  • vegetable oil: use 1/4 cup oil in place of 1 egg (only works to replace 1 egg)
