2. Tofu scramble

Revitalize your mornings with this 5–minute scrambled tofu, a satisfying alternative to traditional eggs. Seasoned to perfection with Kala Namak (black salt), this vegan breakfast dish mimics the eggy flavor, providing a savory kick that will elevate your taste buds.

3. Chickpea crepes

Chickpea flour or garbanzo bean flour is a versatile ingredient that enables us to replace eggs and regular flour in this crepe recipe. Thanks to the chickpea flour, these crepes are naturally vegan and gluten-free. Fill them with sauteed mushrooms and kale for a nutritious vegan dinner idea.

4. Egg-free frittata muffins

5. Egg-free mayonnaise

We use unsweetened soy milk as the emulsifier for our vegan mayonnaise recipe. Like egg yolk, soy milk contains lecithin, which, when blended with lemon juice and oil, forms a thick, creamy, and stable mayonnaise. This thick, creamy, spreadable, and tasty recipe feels like regular mayo. You can use it in salads and dressings or as a spread in sandwiches and wraps. TIP: crumble some of the tofu pieces with your hands. This way, they’ll resemble the crumbled egg yolk texture (especially when coated in our creamy eggy dressing).

Shredded zucchini is the perfect ingredient to make light and moist zucchini muffins. The grated zucchini acts as a binder, which means there is no need to add eggs. The muffins stay together like magic while keeping light and healthy. TIP: these muffins are perfect for bringing to putlocks and feeding a crowd. Aquafaba is a versatile ingredient and works as an egg-white substitute. It gives air and fluff to many vegan desserts, such as vegan meringues and brownies.

21. Chocolate donuts

You’ll love this baked donuts recipe because you can whip them together in 5 minutes, bake them in 20, and glaze them in 3. Also, the recipe is dairy-free, egg-free, and oven-baked, making this treat a delightful vegan brunch idea.

24. Egg-free lemon cake

There’s no need for egg replacements in this soft and airy vegan lemon cake. With vegan cakes, it’s all about getting the ratios of wet and dry ingredients right. Flax eggs, ground flax seeds, aquafaba, or other egg replacements are unnecessary and often change the cake’s texture, consistency, and flavor. The crazy thing is that aquafaba’s foaming properties make it the perfect egg white replacement for meringues and various desserts.

How to replace eggs in baking?

In most cakes and desserts, there’s no need for egg replacements. For example, with vegan cakes, it’s all about getting the ratios of wet and dry ingredients right, and in our recipes we test this many times until we get perfect cake consistency. So if possible, we would recommend to avoid flax eggs, ground flax seeds, aquafaba, or other egg replacements because they often change the cake’s texture, consistency, and flavor. However, in some case, egg-replacements might be necessary. Here are some common egg replacements you can use for baking:

Flaxseed or Chia Seed Eggs: Mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseeds or chia seeds with three tablespoons of water to replace one egg. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until it thickens and has an egg-like consistency.

Applesauce: Replace each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce. This works well in recipes where added sweetness and moisture won’t affect the final product. Bananas: Mashed ripe bananas can add moisture and binding properties to your baked goods, such as banana muffins and zucchini banana bread. Yogurt, soy yogurt, or Buttermilk: Substitute an equal amount of yogurt or buttermilk for eggs in recipes. You can use soy yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free alternatives, as we did with our lemon pound cake and lemon blueberry cake. Vinegar and Baking Soda: Mix one tablespoon of vinegar (apple cider vinegar or white vinegar) with one teaspoon of baking soda to replace one egg. Commercial Egg Replacer: Consider using commercial egg replacers available in many grocery stores. While we don’t have any experience with these products, they have decent ratings on Target.
