Egg substitutes are food products which can be used to replace eggs in cooking and baking.

Types

Commercial

There are many commercial substitutes on the market today for people who wish to avoid eggs. Most of these products are devoid of all animal products, and thus are vegan and contain no cholesterol.

Homemade

Simple homemade egg substitutes can be made using tofu, a variety of fruits, potato starch, mashed potato, baking powder, ground seeds, agar powder,[8] chickpea flour,[9] and more.

Tofu may be used for creating egg-like dishes.

However, these will also add some flavor to the recipe.[8]
