If you are new to vegan baking, you may be wondering- what can I use instead of eggs for baking? Luckily, there are tons of vegan egg substitutes for baking and this post is going to dive into my 9 favorite egg replacements. Luckily, there are SO many amazing vegan dessert recipes out there that require no eggs whatsoever. So let’s dive into my favorite egg replacements for a little vegan baking 101!

Flax Egg’s are probably my FAVORITE egg substitute. Using a Flax egg really replicates the consistency and texture of an egg and acts as a great binding ingredient. The one caveat is, unlike eggs, flax eggs do not provide any lift to baked goods. Similar to a flax egg, a chia egg is made by combining 1 Tbsp of chia seeds with 3 Tbsp of water, mixing together, and letting sit until thick. Unlike flax eggs, chia seeds produce more of a gel-like texture.

You can also use them to make something called a chia pudding which is a great breakfast idea! Applesauce is also used as an oil replacement in baked goods and has a ton of uses. The reason applesauce works as an egg substitute is because of the pectin in apples that acts as a binder. Since applesauce provides a LOT of moisture, I prefer using it as an egg substitute in recipes that call for a long baking time like my Vegan Apple Cider Bundt Cake and Vegan Chocolate Bundt Cake. Just make sure to buy unsweetened applesauce or else your baked goods risk coming out too sweet! Pumpkin puree is another great vegan alternative for eggs!

It’s actually one of my favorite egg replacements for yeasted breads and quick breads. One of my favorite recipes I made this year that uses pumpkin as an egg substitute was actually my Vegan Challah recipe! It adds the perfect sweet touch and gives it a nice rich color. I also used it in my Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread for flavor and moisture. S- pumpkin can also be subbed for sweet potato puree like I did in these Vegan Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls! Mashed banana can be a good egg substitute, however, I personally find it’s best in desserts where you are okay with a little banana flavor. I honestly prefer just using this egg substitute in my banana desserts like my Tahini Banana Bread or Vegan Banana Nut Muffins.
