Egg Substitution Amounts
Egg substitutes work by replacing the binding, leavening, or moisture that eggs provide in recipes.
Common substitutes per 1 egg:
- Flax egg: 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water (let sit 5 min)
- Chia egg: 1 tbsp chia seeds + 3 tbsp water (let sit 5 min)
- Applesauce: 1/4 cup (60g) unsweetened applesauce
- Mashed banana: 1/4 cup (60g) mashed ripe banana
- Silken tofu: 1/4 cup (60g) blended silken tofu
- Commercial egg replacer: follow package directions (typically 1.5 tsp + 3 tbsp water)
- Aquafaba: 3 tbsp chickpea liquid (great for meringues)
- Yogurt: 1/4 cup (60g) plain yogurt
Best uses:
- Binding (cookies, pancakes): flax/chia egg, applesauce
- Leavening (cakes, muffins): aquafaba, commercial replacer
- Moisture (brownies, quick breads): applesauce, banana, yogurt
