Egg-Swap Reference Guide
| Swap | Measurement Equaling 1 Egg | Best For | Notes |
| Chia Seeds | 1 tbs. chia seeds + 3 tbs. water | Muffins, cookies, brownies | Binding and moisture; grind seeds for smoother texture |
| Flaxseeds | 1 tbs. ground flaxseed + 3 tbs. water | Muffins, cookies, pancakes | Similar to chia; creates a smooth, soft crumb |
| Applesauce | ¼ cup | Muffins, spice cakes, quick breads | Moisture only; adds subtle sweetness |
| Mashed Banana | ¼ cup | Banana bread, brownies, chocolate cake, pancakes, muffins or quick breads | Strong flavor; may over-moisten |
| Aquafaba | 3 tbs. (whole egg) or 2 tbs. (egg white) | Meringues, sponge cakes, macarons, cookies | Whip for lift; best for egg-white structure |
| Silken Tofu | ¼ cup, blended smooth | Brownies, dense cakes, bar cookies | Adds structure and richness; no leavening |
| Yogurt | ¼ cup | Muffins, cakes, quick breads | Moisture and tenderness; choose unsweetened |
| Avocado | ¼ cup, mashed smooth | Brownies, chocolate cake, dense cookies | Adds fat and fiber; subtle flavor may show through |
| Liquid and Powder Replacer | As directed on packaging | Cakes, cookies, muffins | Performance varies; check ingredients and sodium content |
