Looking for alternatives to eggs? You’re not alone! There are plenty of substitutes that can work wonders in your recipes, whether you’re vegan, allergic, or just want to try something new.

From flaxseed to applesauce, these options can add flavor and texture without the egg. Ready to explore delicious possibilities?

Applesauce

Applesauce is a great egg substitute in baking. It adds moisture and sweetness to your recipes. Use 1/4 cup of applesauce for each egg.

It works best in recipes like muffins, pancakes, or cakes. Just keep in mind that it may make your baked goods a bit denser.

You can use homemade or store-bought applesauce. Both options work well, so choose what suits you best!

Mashed Bananas

Mashed bananas are a popular egg alternative, especially in baking. They provide moisture and sweetness, making them perfect for pancakes, muffins, and cakes.

To use, simply mash ripe bananas until smooth. One medium banana or half a big banana generally replaces one egg. This substitution works best in recipes where the banana flavor will complement other ingredients.

Ground Flaxseed (Flax Egg)

Ground flaxseed is a popular egg substitute for baking.

To make a flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes gel-like.

Flax eggs work best in recipes like muffins, pancakes, and cookies. Just remember, they may not provide the same rise as eggs in cakes, so consider your recipe choice.
