Check out some of our tips for substituting egg in the kitchen:
One-Egg Equivalents
2 tablespoons potato starch
1/4 cup mashed potatoes
1/4 cup canned pumpkin or squash
2 tablespoons water, combined with 1 tablespoon oil and 2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon ground flax seed simmered in 3 tablespoons water
Tofu is great for egg substitutions in quiches or custards. To replace 1 egg in a recipe, purée 1/4 cup soft tofu.
For desserts and sweet baked good, try 1 small banana or 1/4 cup applesauce for each egg called for. These do add flavor, so make sure they are compatible with your recipe.
For an egg substitute to act as a binder, try adding 2 to 3 tablespoons of tomato paste, potato starch, arrowroot powder, whole wheat flour, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, or instant potato flakes, or 1/4 cup tofu puréed with 1 tablespoon flour, all equal to 1 egg.
