Eggs aren’t the only way to get the dough to the right consistency.

Would you like to consume less animal products? If you want to cook without eggs, there are many ways to change the ingredients. Egg alternatives are also a better ethical decision.

Eggs act as a binding agent and hold the dough together. On the other hand, they provide moisture by loosening the dough. However, many other products also do this job. Special egg alternatives work well to replace a few eggs.

applesauce

For baked goods that need a little more moisture, applesauce is a good solution. It takes about three tablespoons to replace one egg. The apple flavor is barely noticeable after cooking. Plus, the moisture provided by applesauce makes the pastry nice and juicy. So you usually don’t need more liquid to thin the dough.

banana

Banana is particularly suitable as a binding agent. A whole banana is equivalent to about two eggs. Chop the fruit with a fork and add the pulp to the dough.

However, it should not be forgotten that bananas have a relatively strong taste. The riper it is, the more intense its taste. Accordingly, use fruit only if its taste matches the pastry. For example, for pancakes, banana goes perfectly with other ingredients.

Almond oil

Three tablespoons of almond butter replaces one whole egg. You can also use another nut butter of your choice: peanut butter, cashew butter, and the like are good alternatives. However, almond oil has the most neutral flavor and is therefore best used in most baking mixes. If the dough becomes too hard, you can help it with some almond milk.

flaxseed

Flaxseed is also often used as an egg alternative. Mix one tablespoon of flaxseeds with three tablespoons of water in a bowl. After the mixture rests for a few minutes, it can be added to any dough you want. The same goes for chia seeds. Both seeds are good for cake, cookies or bread dough.

5

vinegar and baking soda

Instead of one egg, mix a tablespoon of vinegar and a teaspoon of baking soda. When two components come into contact with each other, tiny air bubbles are formed. These make the dough nice and fluffy. By the way, after cooking, there is no trace of the sour vinegar taste.

6

avocado

In fact, you can replace eggs with avocados when baking. Thanks to its neutral taste, the fruit is also suitable for sweet pastries. One egg can be replaced with half an avocado. The process is exactly the same as with bananas. Due to its high fat content, the fruit can even be used as an oil alternative. Additionally, it may also be a little overripe. This makes the breaking process easier.

7

Rolled oats

Oat flakes can also be used wonderfully as a binding agent. As a rule, three to four tablespoons equal one egg. If you use oatmeal instead of eggs, you will need to be a little patient. You should let the dough rest for about 20 minutes before putting it in the oven. Oat flakes need time to develop their stickiness.

Egg substitute powder

If you have a vegan bakery, you can also find special egg substitute powders in supermarkets and organic markets. As its name suggests, it is a ready-made mixture that can replace eggs.

Application is child’s play: The powder is added to the dough after mixing it with some water. Its biggest advantage is that it does not leave an undesirable taste in the mouth.
