It is perfect for denser baked goods like muffins and pancakes as it won’t aid in helping the final product to rise.
Banana: Half of a mashed banana equated to one egg in a recipe for baking. This substitution works best in sweetly flavoured muffins and yeast-free breads since the banana will flavour the dish very strongly. Aside from adding moisture to baked goods, using a banana adds potassium to the final product.
Canned pumpkin: Use a quarter cup of canned pumpkin per egg when making baked goods. Since it has a distinct flavour, it is best used in recipes that have other stronger flavours such as chocolate or cinnamon, or with ingredients that complement it like carrot or apple.
“EnerG Egg Replacer”: This gluten-, dairy-, and nut-free product is made from potato and tapioca starch flour. One and a half teaspoons of powder mixed with two tablespoons of water replaces one egg in a baked recipe. This method would be synonymous amongst most other egg replacer varieties. (More Info)
Ground flaxseed: Mixing one tablespoon of flaxmeal with three tablespoons of water until the mixture becomes gelatinous will equate to one egg. This mixture will bind dry ingredients in baked goods, adds moisture and also adds fibre and omega-3s.
Silken tofu: Blending a quarter cup of silken tofu with the other liquid used in the recipe until it forms a smooth consistency will equate for one egg. This method is used for denser baked goods like brownies or cookies. Although this egg substitute can add heaviness to your food, it will not alter its taste. It is also a great way to add protein to your sweet baked treats.
Soy or almond milk: Soy or almond dairy-free beverages can be used to make veganised French Toast. Simply use a cup to a cup and a half to replace the whisked eggs.
Tofu: For traditionally egg-based dishes such as a scramble or quiche, tofu is the best substitute as its consistency most closely replicates cooked eggs. Tofu is squishy, soft and virtually tasteless, so you can add whatever flavours you wish to it to create your dish. By adding a dash of turmeric to your “egg” dish you can create the yellowish hue created by egg yolk.
