Just an FYI, if a recipe calls for 3 eggs, these substitutes most likely won't work. Eggs are used in one of two roles: binder (to hold the recipe together) or leavening agent (to help it rise). Sometimes eggs play both roles at once. Pound cakes, sponge cakes, angel food cakes, and other desserts with relatively high egg content will not turn out well in egg free cooking.
1. You can make it egg free using flax seed. 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds and 3 tablespoons of water to replace 1 egg.
2. You can even use applesauce to replace the eggs. 1/4 cup of applesauce is equal to one egg and 1/2 cup for two eggs.
3. I've seen a few vegan pie recipes that call for Silken Tofu. 1/4 cup of pureed tofu for 1 egg.
4. Some recipes call for baking soda and apple cider vinegar, this helps when you make your baked goods. 1 teaspoon of baking soda mixed with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar for 1 egg.
5. Chia seeds soaked in water. No need to grind them. 1 tablespoon of chia and 2 tablespoons of water for one egg.
6. Banana mashed, or even half a banana, equals one egg.
7. One whole avocado mashed
8. Aquafaba aka chickpea liquid from the can. Place it in a bowl and whip it for about 14-15 minutes. 3 tablespoons drained chickpea liquid (each can yields about 1/2 to 3/4 cup) is the equivalent of about 1 egg,
9. Yogurt (if you're not dairy free) 3/4 cup of yogurt is equal to two eggs
10. Mayonnaise can be used in place of the eggs and oil.
11. Unflavored gelatin. 1 cup boiling water and 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin, mixed and then use 3-1/2 tablespoons of that mixture per egg
12. Xanthan gum. 1 teaspoon per recipe.
13. Vegetable oil. 1-1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil mixed with 1-1/2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon baking powder per egg.
14. Diet soda, yes 1/2 a can of diet soda is equal to one egg.
15. Agar-agar egg substitute recipe is 1 tablespoon of agar-agar to 4 tablespoons of water.
16. Arrowroot powder is great as an egg substitute in stir fries, 2 tablespoons is all you'll need.
17. Sweet potatoes mashed or white potatoes. Just use 2 tablespoons for every egg. Using 2 tablespoons of instant potato flakes works the same.
18. Canned Pumpkin works well in muffins and breads. 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin
19. Tomato paste would be a great egg substitute in meatballs or meatloaf. 2 tablespoons of tomato paste should be fine for the meat mixture.
20. Carbonated water. Just replace 1/4 of the recipe's liquid with carbonated water. Be sure not to over mix the batter.
