When you think of baking, you think of eggs. Eggs are one of the main ingredients in most baked goods but there are other options if you don’t want to use egg.
Eggs serve various purposes in baking recipes, including structure, leavening, moisture, and richness. However, if you lack eggs or have an egg allergy, there are various substitutes available. Here are a few options:
- Applesauce: Unsweetened applesauce can replace eggs in recipes that require a small amount. Use 1/4 cup of applesauce to replace 1 egg.
- Mashed bananas: Mashed ripe bananas can replace eggs in recipes that require a small amount. Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup of mashed bananas to replace 1 egg.
- Yogurt: Plain yogurt can replace eggs in recipes that require a small amount. Use 1/4 cup of yogurt to replace 1 egg.
- Silken tofu: Silken tofu can replace eggs in recipes that require a large amount. Blend 1/4 cup of silken tofu until smooth instead of 1 egg.
- Vinegar and baking powder: Combine 1 tbsp vinegar and 1 tsp baking powder as a substitute for 1 egg. This works as a leavening agent in recipes.
- Commercial egg replacers: Commercial egg replacers are available to replace eggs. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the amount needed.
