I started mixing a recipe and realized too late that I had used the last of the eggs. It was 11pm (yes, I bake late sometimes; you know, the second wind!) so I really didn't want to go out to the store. I remember my mom saying she'd done apple sauce or something like that once and it worked well so I did a little research and found some great options!
Apple sauce/fruit puree
1/4 cup sauce for every egg
Best in:
Cookies, cakes, quick breads, brownies
Vinegar
1 teaspoon of baking soda along with 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Apple cider vinegar and white distilled vinegar can be used.
Best in:
Cakes, cupcakes, breads
Buttermilk
If there are no other
ingredients to make the baked item rise, then one of these can be used
in place of the egg. Replace the liquid in the recipe with same amount
of buttermilk or thinned yogurt. Replace baking powder with 1/4 as much
baking soda.
