What do vegans use instead of eggs in baking?

Probably the question that gets asked the most. Due to me personally having an egg allergy for the past 12 years I have managed to learn the best alternatives for vegan baking.

1. Flaxseed or Chia Seed “Eggs”: Mixing ground flaxseeds or chia seeds with water creates a gel-like mixture that binds ingredients together, similar to eggs.
2. Aquafaba: The liquid from canned chickpeas or other legumes, known as aquafaba, can be whipped into a foam or used as a binding agent in baking.
3. Silken Tofu: Blended silken tofu adds moisture and binding properties to baked goods, serving as a substitute for eggs.
4. Commercial Egg Replacers: There are several commercial egg replacers available, typically made from starches and leavening agents, designed specifically for vegan baking.
5. Bananas or Applesauce: Mashed ripe bananas or applesauce can serve as a natural binder and add moisture to baked goods, often used in recipes like muffins and quick breads.
6. Commercial Egg-free Yogurt: Certain brands offer dairy-free yogurt alternatives that can be used as egg substitutes in baking.

These alternatives provide structure, moisture, and binding properties similar to eggs, allowing for successful vegan baking without compromising texture or flavour.
