This Cheat Sheet Features the Best Egg Substitutes for Baking
Whether you are a vegan, allergic to eggs, or simply do not have eggs, there are many situations in which you might want to swap eggs for something else while baking. Browsing the internet (pun intended), we found a handy infographic worth bookmarking for such occasions.
On his health blog, Swanson Health Products shares handy images of seven of the best vegan egg substitutes: ground flaxseed, chia seeds, soy protein, agar agar, ripe bananas, applesauce, and peanut butter. They all serve the same function as eggs in baking recipes; they serve as a binder and / or leavening agent. Note that all of these substitutions can easily be doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled for large batch recipes.
Everyone has a different outcome, so it’s worth playing with the different options to see which works best for each of your recipes. For example, sweeter substitutes like fruit are not ideal for savory recipes. Additional tips, including how to replace a recipe that requires more than three eggs, can be found at the link below, which also includes a video demonstrating how to make all of the egg replacers.
