Nearly every baking recipe calls for eggs, which can be a problem for vegans or people who can’t eat eggs for some reason. However, there are a few great egg replacements that you can use for preparing your favorite meals, and you probably already have some of them in the kitchen.
Puréed Fruit
One of the easiest and most common ways to replace eggs in recipes is to use puréed fruit such as mashed banana, applesauce, or pumpkin puree. These are all great nutritious replacements that will help you prepare light and moist foods such as bread, muffins, and all sorts of cookies.
Tofu
Tofu is a staple in vegan diets and this versatile ingredient can also be used instead of eggs in many recipes. Silken tofu is softer because it has higher water content and it’s perfect for preparing delicious vegan desserts like cream pies, pudding, mousses or pound cakes.
Flaxseed or Chia Seed
Both flaxseeds and chia seeds are super nutritious and packed with fiber, protein, and other important nutrients. You can mix them with water to create a great egg substitute that’s perfect for preparing tasty pancakes, cookies, or bread.
