Water, oil, and baking powder

2 Tbsp water + 1 tsp vegetable oil + 1 tsp baking powder = 1 egg

This egg substitute makes baked treats rise, it adds moisture, and it won’t change the taste too much. 

This egg substitute relies on pantry staples, so you won’t have to scramble last minute to find a replacement. 

It works great for most baked goods and is one of the best egg substitutes for baking.

Carbonated water

1/4 cup carbonated water = 1 egg

Swap eggs for carbonated water. As simple as that.

Carbonated water is the best egg substitute for light and airy treats like cakes and bread.

Vinegar and baking soda

Check out 9 Easy Egg Substitutes For Baking at https://homemaderecipes.com/egg-substitutes-baking/

1 Tbsp vinegar + 1 tsp baking soda = 1 egg

For the best results, add to the batter right before it goes in the oven. 

In a small bowl, mix the baking soda and vinegar. Add this to the batter while foaming and mix until just combined. Pour into cake pans/molds and bake.

Speed is key, so you’ll have to move quickly. 

Suitable for light and airy recipes like cake, cupcakes, and bread.

**This is best for recipes that only need one egg. If the recipe calls for more eggs, other substitutes are better.

Pureed fruit

Check out 9 Easy Egg Substitutes For Baking at https://homemaderecipes.com/egg-substitutes-baking/

1/4 cup pureed fruit = 1 egg

The most common pureed fruit to use is mashed banana, avocado, or unsweetened apple sauce.

Eggs are a leavening agent, and without them, baked goods tend to be dense and heavy. Add more leavening for items that need to rise during the baking process. 

Pureed fruits work best in sweet treats like cakes and brownies but work for most baking.

Buttermilk

1/4 cup buttermilk = 1 egg

Buttermilk is a good egg replacement for non-vegans. If you can’t find buttermilk, add the same amount of natural yogurt instead.

Buttermilk won’t make cakes and muffins as compact as some of the other options and works well for cakes and muffins.

Ground flaxseed and water

1 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 Tbsp water = 1 egg

Mix ground flaxseeds and water. Let it rest until it becomes gelatinous (the consistency jelly has) before using it.

Flaxseed has a nutty flavor and makes baked items denser.

Nut butter

1/4 cup silken tofu = 1 egg

Silken tofu is a softer and smoother variation of regular tofu. Baked 

goods won’t brown as much, but they will be moist and rich.

Blend in a food processor until it’s creamy and has no lumps.

Use for dense cakes, cookies, brownies, and bread.

Egg Yolk Substitutes

Egg yolks usually bind ingredients together as it bakes. It’s best to use a commercial egg replacer, but most of the substitutes, as mentioned above, could work as well.

If you replace egg yolks with liquid, you may need additional fat for richness. Adding coconut or avocado oil should do the trick, but keep the ratio of wet and dry ingredients the same.

The recipe may also need extra leavening.

Egg White Substitute

Aquafaba is the liquid leftover from cooking legumes. Chickpeas and white beans are the best legumes because the aquafaba is clear.

You can use the liquid from a can of legumes or make it at home.

Aquafaba should be the same consistency of egg whites for the recipe to work. If it’s too thick, heat it up with some water. You can also make it thicker by reducing it on the stove like any other liquid. 

You don’t have to stop enjoying your favorite baked goods when avoiding eggs. It may take some practice, but with some consideration, egg substitutes will work in most recipes.
