<strong>Baking</strong> <strong>without</strong> <strong>eggs</strong>
Is baking not merely a hobby, but a passion for<br />
you? Do you not like to compromise on the<br />
density, texture, taste of your cookies, cakes,<br />
brownies and yet not use one of the chief<br />
ingredients~ <strong>eggs</strong>? If yes, there is no need to<br />
worry. Here we will list a few egg substitutes that<br />
can be used for baking.
Yogurt/ Buttermilk<br />
These are readily available<br />
in any household and are<br />
wonderful egg substitutes.<br />
They help to provide the<br />
perfect texture, especially<br />
when used for baking<br />
muffins and cupcakes. One<br />
egg equals to ¼ of<br />
buttermilk or yogurt. Your<br />
baked goodies will be light<br />
and soft.
Vinegar, <strong>Baking</strong> soda<br />
As strange it may sound, 1<br />
tablespoon of vinegar mixed<br />
together with baking soda<br />
can do wonders for your<br />
cake. If you do not have<br />
vinegar in handy, lime juice<br />
can also be used. They are<br />
perfect substitutes for <strong>eggs</strong><br />
and your baked goods will<br />
be light and fluffy.
Pureed fruits<br />
Fruits like bananas, unsweetened applesauce, plumped raisins<br />
and softened dates are perfect substitutes while baking cakes,<br />
quick bread and brownies. One egg equals a ¼ cup of these<br />
fruit purees. For better results, you can bake the items for<br />
slightly longer.
Silken Tofu<br />
Tofu is a familiar product for<br />
many, however, silken tofu<br />
might be a little alien. Most<br />
vegans have primarily<br />
substituted silken tofu for <strong>eggs</strong><br />
in many dishes. It’s made by<br />
curdling soy milk and pressing<br />
them into sliceable cakes. While<br />
baking cakes, breads or cookies<br />
you can use ¼ cup of whipped<br />
silken tofu for each egg.
Flax seeds<br />
Flax seeds mixed with ¼ cup of water work as substitutes for <strong>eggs</strong>.<br />
Since it has a nuttier flavor it works best when you are baking waffles,<br />
pancakes and oatmeal cookies.
