7 substitutes for eggs when baking

With rising egg costs, finding egg substitutes for baking has become essential for home bakers. These alternatives can mimic eggs' binding, leavening, and moisture-retaining properties. Popular substitutes include applesauce for sweetness and moisture in cakes and muffins, flaxseed meal mixed with water for binding in cookies and brownies, and mashed bananas for flavor and moisture, though they may alter taste slightly.

Commercial egg replacers, made of starches and leavening agents, offer a cost-effective alternative. For a natural option, silken tofu blended smooth works well in dense recipes like brownies and cakes. By exploring these substitutes, bakers can save money and discover new flavors and textures, turning the challenge of high egg prices into an opportunity for culinary innovation. This exploration also allows for tailoring recipes to dietary needs, such as veganism or egg allergies, fostering creativity in the kitchen. All with the hidden benefit of less cholesterol.
