Instructions
- Agar-Agar. 1 tablespoon of aga-agar and 1 tablespoon water. Mix and use immediately.
- Applesauce. 1/4 cup of applesauce. A half cup of unsweetened applesauce is the best option as it will not affect the sweetness of the finished product.
- Arrowroot Powder. Mix 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder and 1 tablespoon of water.
- Avocado. ¼ cup of avocado.
- Baking Powder and Seeds. Mix 1 tablespoon of the seeds with 3 tablespoons of water. Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes until it has changed to a gel-like consistency. Then mix in ½ teaspoon of baking powder.
- Baking Powder and Vegetable Oil. Mix between 1 and 1.5 tablespoons of water with 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
- Banana. 1/2 of a ripe banana that is mashed.
- Butter or Margarine. Use as an egg substitute for glaze. Brush melted butter onto recipes before baking.
- Chia seeds. Mix 1 tablespoon of ground chia seeds to 3 tablespoons of water. Let this mixture sit for 20 minutes add ½ tablespoon baking powder and mix.
- Chickpea Flour. Mix 2 tablespoons of chickpea flour with 2 tablespoons of water.
- Cornstarch. Combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water.
- Flaxseeds. Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds with 3 tablespoons of water. Let this mixture sit for 20 minutes. Whisk together until gelatinous and creamy.
- Fruit Puree. One quarter cup of fruit puree for each egg. Add a 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gelatin. Mix the gelatin with ½ cup of hot water with 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin.
- Peanut Butter. Three tablespoons of peanut butter.
- Powdered Egg Replacement. Commercial powdered egg replacements work well for adding texture and richness to recipes as well as a binding and leavening in recipes. Read the labels to determine the replacement measurements and uses.
- Potato Starch. 1 tablespoon of potato starch flour and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix to make a paste and add to the recipe.
- Pumpkin Puree. ¼ cup pumpkin puree.
- Soy Protein. 1 tablespoon soy protein mixed with 3 tablespoon water.
- Tapioca Flour. Combine 1 tablespoon of tapioca flour and 1 tablespoon of water.
- Tofu. Scrambled tofu works well as an alternative to scrambled eggs. The addition of turmeric will help the tofu take on the familiar yellow color of scrambled eggs. Use 2 ounces of silken or firm tofu per one egg. Firm tofu can be used to replace hard boiled eggs in recipes such as salads and sandwiches. Use 2 ounces of extra firm tofu for each egg.
- White beans. Use as a hard-boiled egg replacement ¼ cup per egg.
- Xanthan gum. 1 Teaspoon per egg.
