Egg Substitutes: Handy Recipe List
Measuring Cups & Eggs
If you run out of eggs while baking, an egg substitute is a quick fix since chances are you have something in the pantry that you can use. You may also find need for an egg substitute if you’re baking a cake for someone with allergies or if someone is vegan. Using an egg substitute may affect the taste or texture of the final product.
I do have a running list of Handy Substitute Recipes For Baking but decided to make a separate post just for egg substitutes & replacers since I have so many.
Egg Substitute Recipes (Each replaces one egg)
*It’s recommended not to replace more than 2 eggs per recipe.
- 1 tsp baking powder + 1 1/2 TBS water + 1 1/2 TBS oil
- 1 tsp baking powder + 1 TBS water + 1 TBS vinegar
- 2 TBS water or milk + 2 TBS flour + 1/2 TBS shortening + 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 TBS vinegar + 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 TBS lemon juice + 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 TBS cornstarch + 3 TBS water for each missing egg
- 2 TBS arrowroot flour
- 2 TBS potato starch
- 1 TBS tapioca starch + 1/4 cup warm water (mix well & allow to gel a bit before using)
- 1 tsp yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/2 banana, mashed (medium size) + 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 TBS applesauce
- 3 TBS mayonnaise
Flax Seed Egg Replacer
*Replacer for 1 egg
1 TBS flax seed (ground)
3 TBS water
- Method #1: Simmer together on top of stove for about 5 minutes until the consistency reaches a thick, egg-white like consistency.
- Method #2: Blend ingredients together in a blender or food processor until the mixture is thick and creamy. Refrigerate.
Homemade Egg Substitute
*1/4 cup = 1 large egg
6 egg whites
1/4 cup dry milk powder (non-fat)
1 TBS vegetable oil
- Mix all ingredients together and blend until smooth, refrigerate. Can be frozen.
Replacer For Egg Substitute:
- Some low fat or low cholesterol recipes call for a commercial egg substitute. If you don’t have any on hand or wish to cook with fresh eggs instead, 1 fresh egg = 1/4 cup of egg substitute.

Thank you for publishing this list of egg substitutes. Hopefully your readers will see how easy it is to substitute. I have a child with an egg allergies and I am a vegetarian/vegan. I have vowed never to buy eggs again – even if my child outgrows his allergy. It is just so easy to substitute with great results. These tips would be great for anyone who is also looking to lower cholesterol or save a few dollars on groceries.
This list is fantastic, however, I want to remind any readers who are cooking for others that Mayonnaise does have eggs in it so this is not a suitable replacement for someone with alergies or who is vegan.
Does anyone know the best egg replacer for a gluten-free, dairy-free, corn-free bread recipe? I’m using “Pamela’s” GF bread mix in a bread machine. I’ve already tried the Ener-g egg replacer, with soggy results!
Thanks so much for this great list!
A 12 oz. can of cola will work on a cake mix. I use lemon-lime for white or yellow mixes and some type of cola for chocolate mixes. Don’t add anything else to the mix. It will be very moist. Can even use diet sodas.
Have you any suggestions for using gelatin as an egg substitute?
