How much do you use to substitute for each egg called in recipe?
There are several egg substitutes that can be used in baking and cooking. Here are some common options and the amounts to use to replace one egg:
- Ground Flaxseed: Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it gel for a few minutes before adding to the recipe.
- Chia Seeds: Mix 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water and let it gel for a few minutes before adding to the recipe.
- Commercial Egg Replacer: Follow the instructions on the package. Typically, 1 tablespoon of egg replacer powder mixed with 2 tablespoons of water is equivalent to one egg.
- Silken Tofu: Use 1/4 cup of silken tofu, mashed or blended until smooth.
- Unsweetened Applesauce: Use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce.
- Banana: Use 1/2 of a ripe banana, mashed or blended until smooth.
- Vinegar and Baking Soda: Mix 1 teaspoon of vinegar with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of water. This combination creates a leavening agent similar to the role of eggs in baking.
- Aquafaba (Chickpea Brine): Use 3 tablespoons of aquafaba, the liquid from a can of chickpeas, for each egg.
It's important to note that egg substitutes may affect the taste, texture, and color of your final product, so it's always a good idea to test the recipe with a small batch before committing to a larger one.
