Egg Replacers

Flax or Chia

To make a flax egg, mix one tablespoon ground flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water. Mix together, and let sit in your fridge for 15 minutes to set up and thicken

To replace an egg, I used 1 tablespoon of chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons of water and let the mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes or you can prepare it the night before. Mix the chia seeds and water together in a small bowl and let it sit for 10 - 15 minutes until the mixture becomes gel.

Banana & Applesauce

Last but not least, are staples you probably already have in your kitchen to help with your egg-free baking.   1 ripe banana can be substituted for every egg needed in a chewy baked good (like brownies) and 1 tablespoon of applesauce also equals an egg in most recipes.  Sometimes I find it may take a few extra minutes in the oven when I go this route so just keep your eye on it.
