What if you forgot the eggs in quick bread?

Effects on the Quick Bread

- Denser loaf: Without eggs, the loaf will rise less and will be more structurally sound.

- Less flavorful and nutritious: Eggs contribute protein, fat, and flavor to quick bread, so omitting them will make the bread less exciting.

- crumbly texture: Eggs act as a binder in baked goods, so without them, the bread may crumb.

Potential Solutions

- Add an extra 1/4 cup of liquid per egg omitted. This will help to maintain the moisture content of the bread.

- Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder per egg omitted. This will help to compensate for the loss of leavening power.

- Add an extra 1/4 cup of flour per egg omitted. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming too dense.

- Add a little bit of fat. Eggs contain fat which will add richness and moistness to the bread, if you've added the oil, you can ignore this.

- Consider adding other ingredients to compensate for the lack of eggs. For example, you could add some yogurt, applesauce, or mashed banana. These ingredients will help to add moisture, flavor, and structure to the bread.
