How to Use Bananas Instead of Eggs (4 Steps)
Bananas safely replace eggs whether you cook for someone who has egg allergies or follows a vegan diet. Eggs provide binding, leavening and moisture to baked goods. However, bananas mainly serve as moisture and binder, so you may need to add extra leavening for some baked goods. Bananas also add their flavor when used as an egg replacer, so only use them when the banana flavor complements the baked good.
