Formula
1 large egg (50g) = 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water = 1/4 cup mashed banana = 1/4 cup applesauce = 3 tbsp aquafaba = 1/4 cup silken tofu. For egg whites: 2 tbsp aquafaba = 1 egg white.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best egg substitute for baking?
It depends on the egg's role in the recipe. For binding (cookies, muffins), use flax or chia eggs. For leavening (cakes), use aquafaba or vinegar + baking soda. For moisture (brownies), use mashed banana or applesauce.
How do you make a flax egg?
Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like. This replaces one egg and works best for binding in cookies, muffins, and pancakes.
Can I replace more than 3 eggs in a recipe?
Replacing more than 3 eggs is challenging and may significantly alter the texture and structure. For recipes calling for many eggs (like angel food cake), try using a combination of substitutes or choose a recipe specifically designed to be egg-free.
