WFMW: Egg Substitutes

March 27, 2012 by Kristen

I’m the kind of cook that gets half-way thru a recipe and realizes she doesn’t have all the ingredients.

I usually improvise.

Oh, you should be me. It’s an adventure let me tell you.

I think it was divine providence that a professional baker lives next door to me. She’s shared more than one egg. Which is sort of why I googled “egg substitutes” because even I have some baking pride.

Did you know you can use the one of following so substitute eggs in a recipe?

  • 1/2 banana, mashed (medium size) + 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 TBS applesauce
  • 3 TBS mayonnaise (*contains eggs so not suitable for allergy or vegan accomodation)

Most eggcellent!

    My vegan sister also blends up whole flax seeds with water in a blender for an egg substitute. You can freeze the mixture in an ice-cube tray. One cube = one egg. I’m sure you can find the ratio online somewhere. This is a great tip b/c like you, I also often realize I’m out of something half-way through a recipe. A good list of substitutes is essential. Thank goodness for the Internet when my America’s Test Kitchen list does not have the required item.

      I use Bob’s Red Mill ground flaxseed meal, and according to the back of the bag, the proper ratio is 1 Tbs. meal to 3 Tbs. water, then leave it sitting for 2 minutes; this replaces 1 egg in a recipe. Thanks for the other ideas too!

    Good to know! Once, while in a desperate hunt for lunch when the pantry was bare, I found a box of mac and cheese, but we had no milk. I melted vanilla ice cream to mix up the cheese packet, and the kids loved it!

    Good to know! We aren’t huge egg eaters in my family, so I almost always have the eggs I need for a recipe, but I’m glad to have substitutes for those times when I do run out. Thanks!

    Similar to ground flax seed. You can use 1 T Chia seeds + 3 T water as an egg substitute. Just mix together in a small bowl and let sit for a few minutes before adding to you batter.

    You can also substitute 1/4 cup vanilla or plain yogurt for an egg. This works in about everything, except brownies!

    I usually do not drop many comments, however i did some searching and wound up here
    WFMW: Egg Substitutes — We are THAT Family. And I do have some questions for
    you if you don’t mind. Could it be just me or does it appear like some of
    these responses come across like coming from brain dead people?
    😛 And, if you are posting on additional sites,
    I’d like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Would
    you make a list of all of all your communal pages like your twitter feed, Facebook
