The price of eggs has consumers scratching them off their shopping list. Here are some options to replace eggs in your recipes based on what function the egg is providing.
Boiled egg—use 2 ounces extra-firm tofu for each hard boiled egg.
Binding ingredients in baking— For each egg, use 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flax seeds with 3 tablespoons water, let stand 5 minutes. This makes a gel and helps hold ingredients together.
Leavening in baking—Use the chia or flax seed mixture above plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder for each egg.
For moistness in baking—use 1/4 cup applesauce, mashed banana, pureed avocado, pureed garbanzo beans, or silken tofu.
Buy eggs when on sale and freeze them for later use.
