I have compiled a list of foods that you probably already have in your pantry, that can serve as egg substitutes. Notice I say substitutes, because I have yet to find something that can exactly replace the amazing egg.
• 1 egg = 1/4 cup applesause or mashed banana
• 1 egg = 2 Tbsp. potato starch
• 1 egg = 1/4 cup mashed potatoes
• 1 egg = 1/4 cup canned pumpkin or squash
• 1 egg = 1/4 cup pureed prunes
• 1 egg = 2 Tbsp. water + 1 Tbsp. oil + 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 egg = 1 Tbsp. ground flax seed simmered in 3 Tbsp. water
• 1 egg white = 1 Tbsp. plain agar powder dissolved in 1 Tbsp. water, whipped, chilled, and whipped again
Make sure that the replacement is compatible with what you are making. For example, applesauce would go best with something sweet like a cake or brownies. If you are making cookies the eggs act as a binding agent and would best be replaced with potato starch or 2 Tbsp. of arrowroot powder.
Now I am hungry for cake, mmmmmmm...

Thank you Christina, for this valuable list...I have been in this bind more that once and would have loved this help! xo
