Eggs are some of the easiest animal products to swap out! Try these egg replacements to add more plant-based meals and desserts into your dishes!

For baking:

1 egg = ½ avocado  

1 egg = ½ ripe banana  

1 egg = 3tbs aquafaba (chickpea water)  

1 egg = 3tbs peanut butter  

1 egg = 1tsp baking powder + 1 tbs vinegar
