Ingredients
Egg Substitute Options
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- ¼ cup fruit or veggie puree
- ¼ cup yogurt
Instructions
- To make an egg substitute, choose one of the options above per egg you plan on replacing. For example, if a muffin recipe calls for 2 eggs, you'll replace that with ½ cup of yogurt or mashed banana.
- To make a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed plus 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. (Use 2 tablespoons of water for a fluffy recipe, like muffins or cake.) Stir these together and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
- When using an egg substitute in baked goods, you may need a slightly longer bake time. Cookies might need 2 more minutes, and cakes or muffins might need 5 more minutes. Let baked goods cool completely before enjoying them.
