Ground flax seed is an excellent substitution for eggs in baking recipes. Simply mix 1 tablespoon of ground flax meal with 3 tablespoons of water in a bowl until it turns into a thick paste. This concoction makes an amazing egg substitute that works wonders in so many dishes.
Chia seeds are another stellar alternative for replacing eggs in various recipes. Make sure to grind the chia seeds first before adding them to any dish – this will result in a better texture and consistency when baked. To replace one egg, use 1 tablespoon of grounded chia seed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes until it becomes gelatinous before adding it to any recipe.
For those looking for ingredients easily found on the shelf, applesauce is another great substitute for eggs! To replace one egg, use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce and add it directly into your batter or dough. Easy peasy!
