Egg Substitution Ideas

I recently wrote about how to make a fake egg. I’ve since received a few emails and come across additional suggestions. My word of caution is that I have not tried these myself.

Applesauce or Bananas:
1/4 cup applesauce OR 1/2 mashed banana along with 1/2 teaspoon baking powder — while the fruit adds moisture, the baking powder provides leavening. These would both work best in sweet baked goods situations.

Baking Powder:
Use a 1/2 teaspoon baking powder along with 2 tablespoons of a liquid (i.e. fruit juice)

Not only will these substitutions help in a pinch, I’ve been reminded that these are helpful for people who are strict vegans.
