Sometimes you just need an egg for baking and don't have one. Here are a few ideas for substitutions that might help. Depending on the recipe you might need one to be a liquid and so on. Using substitutes for more than 1 egg are not advised. But using for when you just need 1 egg is fine.
- MASHED BANANA. ...a half of a banana for 1 egg.
- APPLESAUCE. ...1/4 cup for 1 egg
- SILKEN TOFU. ...1/4 cup for 1 egg
- GROUND FLAXSEED OR CHIA SEEDS & WATER. ...
- YOGURT. ...1/4 cup for 1 egg
- BUTTERMILK. ...1/4 cup for 1 egg
- SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK. ...1/4 cup for 1 egg
- ARROWROOT POWDER OR CORNSTARCH....2 tablespoons combined with 3 tablespoons of water
The ground chia seed was the one that I have used the most for baking muffins. You can combine 1 tablespoon of ground chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water to create a thick, gelatinous mixture for baking without eggs. This replacement works best in dense baked goods and should sit for several minutes to thicken before you add it to a recipe. Keep in mind that you may notice a slightly earthy flavor in finished baked goods. Works good in muffins, banana bread, chocolate chip cookies and other items like this.
