What can be used instead of eggs when making a meatloaf?

Flax Egg:

- Mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water.

- Let sit for a few minutes until it thickens to form a gel-like consistency.

Chia Egg:

- Mix 1 tablespoon chia seeds with 3 tablespoons water.

- Let sit for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it forms a gel-like texture.

Aquafaba (Chickpea Brine):

- Reserve the liquid from a can of chickpeas.

- Use 3 tablespoons of aquafaba in place of each egg.

Egg Replacer Powder:

- Choose an egg replacer made from plant-based ingredients like soy flour or cornstarch.

- Follow the instructions on the package for the recommended substitution measurement.

Silken Tofu:

- Use ¼ cup of silken tofu blended into a smooth consistency to replace one egg.

Applesauce:

- Unsweetened applesauce can provide moisture and binding qualities similar to eggs.

- Use ¼ cup of applesauce per egg in the recipe.

Baking Soda and Vinegar:

- Combine ½ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon vinegar.

- The reaction creates carbon dioxide, providing a leavening effect similar to eggs.

Ground Chia or Flax:

- Mix 2 tablespoons of ground flax/chia seeds with 5-6 tablespoons water to achieve the consistency of an egg.

Buttermilk:

- It adds moisture and flavor, and slightly thickens as it reacts with other ingredients.

- Replace each egg with ⅓ cup of buttermilk.
