<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.
