What can you substitute eggs with?

Question

I want to make brownies but need two eggs, which I don't have.

Anything simple to replace an egg with?

Answer 1

use milk

Answer 2

Mayonnaise, but take out some of the oil from the recipe, as well.  Eggs and oil are the two primary ingredients in mayo, and I have had good results with this substitution.

Answer 3

Try to use the egg whites instead of the whole egg.

Answer 4

They'll b more like a 1/2 fudge..1/2 brownie consistency.

Yogurt is a good sub or mayo or

• 1 egg = 1 Tbsp. ground flax seed simmered in 3 Tbsp. water

• 1 egg white = 1 Tbsp. plain agar powder dissolved in 1 Tbsp. water, whipped, chilled, and whipped again

Answer 6

This is from the Farmer's Almanac website:

What is a good substitute for eggs?

Ener-G Egg Replacer - follow directions on box.

2 tbsp corn starch = 1 egg

2 tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg

2 tbsp potato starch = 1 egg

1 heaping tbsp soy powder + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg

1 tbsp soy milk powder + 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg.

1 banana = 1 egg in cakes.

And this is from about.com:

As a general rule, the fewer eggs a recipe calls for, the easier they will be to substitute. So, if a cookie recipe calls for one egg, using an egg substitute will work much better than in a recipe that requires three or four eggs. Also consider how the substitute will affect the overall taste of the finished dish. Bananas, for example, may add a welcome hint of fruity sweetness to pancakes and cookies, but if you are making a casserole or another savory dish, you will want to use something else.
