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
