If people do not want to use eggs in a recipe, they can try the following substitutes for one egg:
Flaxseed: Mix 1 tablespoon (tbsp) ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water until it makes a thick and creamy mixture.
Chia seeds: Mix 1 tbsp chia seeds with 1/3 cup of water. Leave for about 15 minutes until the chia seeds absorb the water and create a thick paste.
Banana: Use half of a mashed banana. This is effective in baked goods such as cookies or brownies.
Agar agar flakes: Mix 1 tbsp agar agar flakes or powder with 1 tbsp water.
Applesauce: Use 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce in baking. This can also work as a replacement for butter or oil.
Soft tofu: 1/4 cup soft tofu can add moisture and a creamy texture to recipes. People may also want to try scrambled tofu as a replacement for scrambled egg.
Aquafaba: Use 3 tbsp chickpea water, also called aquafaba. Thicken on the stove if it is too watery.
People can also buy egg-replacement products in supermarkets or online. However, it is important to note that egg substitutes will not always contain the same nutrients as eggs would.
