If you are planning on going vegan or simply are trying to eliminate more animal products from your life, cutting out eggs is a good way to start. Unfortunately, eggs are essential to most breakfasts and baked goods, but luckily can easily be replaced. Whether you are looking for sweet or savory applications, there are several tricks to get around using eggs without losing flavor.
Tofu
If you are a person who makes scrambled eggs every morning, you don’t have to totally lose your routine. Tofu is a great substitute for dishes like scrambled eggs because when drained correctly, the texture is very similar to that of scrambled eggs. Just make sure to weigh it down in order to get out all the water, saute with vegetables and spices as you like and enjoy!
Flax Seeds
Flax seeds are one of the best egg alternatives because of two reasons; it is a great source of protein, which is great when replacing a protein like eggs, and it is also a great binder. All you need to do is mix ground flax seeds with water, let it sit and watch it turn to a consistency identical to eggs! It’s that easy.
