Whether it’s cost, personal preference, or dietary restrictions that’ve got you going egg-free, these top five egg substitutes will have you crackin’ in no time! (Yes, that was an egg pun.)
(Heads up: if a recipe requires more than two eggs, these replacements are less likely to be effective.)
1. Flax Seeds
First up are flax seeds, which are a popular choice for replacing eggs in many recipes. These little brown seeds pack a nutritional punch, as they are high in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats, soluble fiber, and antioxidants. Flax seeds are excellent binders, add moisture, and create a slightly chewy texture. They also have a mild nutty flavor, which can be complementary in many baked goods. However, flax seeds don’t rise, so they wouldn’t pair well with recipes that call for a lighter, fluffier consistency (you’ll want to make sure you have another leavening agent for this).
