"17 Egg Substitutes Every Baker Needs to Know" (allrecipes) [View all]

I was looking this up and thought I'd share what I found. Some of these are new to me....
https://www.allrecipes.com/article/egg-substitute-for-baking/

Can’t eat eggs due to allergies or special diets? Or are you simply out of eggs? Try these egg substitutes. You probably have some on hand already.


The linked article above has more details like amounts, but the substitutes they have are:

Fruit: banana, unsweetened applesauce, avocado, pumpkin puree, and {rehydrated and pureed prunes, raisins, soaked dates}

Legumes and seeds: flax seed, chia seed, tofu, aquafaba (the liquid poured-off from canned chickpeas), chickpea flour, and soy flour

Dairy: yogurt, buttermilk, mayonaise (regular or vegan)

Pantry staples: {baking powder, oil and water}, {baking soda and vinegar}, and vegetable oil
