What can I use as an egg substitute when baking?

In: Baking, Ingredient Substitutions, Veganism [Recategorize]

[Edit]

depends on what you are baking but oil will work

eggs whipped= mayonnaise= oil

if you have a cookbook in the house you can find this in the front or the back of it

equivalents

Personally, I tend to rely on the unhealthy "on hand" tactic my mother taught me when I was young - 1/4 c vegetable for each egg, as long as no more than 2 eggs are being replaced.

Other options are:
1/4 c mashed potatoes (or turnips) or squash (or zucchini or pumpkin)
4 oz applesauce (unsweetened)
1 banana
2 Tablespoons water plus 1 Tablespoon oil plus 2 teaspoon baking powder

Flax seed, while not a perfect substitute, will work in a number of cases.

Replace 1 egg with 1 small, ripe banana mashed well.

!/4 c applesauce
