Vegan Baking: Egg Substitutes
❌ Don't
- ✕ Use a flax egg for airy cakes or meringues.
- ✕ Substitute eggs 1:1 without considering the recipe's needs.
- ✕ Add extra liquid when using fruit purees or mashed banana.
- ✕ Expect one substitute to work for all types of baked goods.
✅ Do
- ✓ Use flax or chia seeds for binding in dense items like muffins.
- ✓ Choose mashed banana or applesauce for moisture in quick breads.
- ✓ Whip aquafaba (chickpea brine) for light, airy results (meringues).
- ✓ Use commercial egg replacers for general binding and some lift.
- ✓ Match the substitute to the egg's main function in the recipe.
