Frequently Asked Questions
Which egg substitute works best for baking cakes?
Applesauce and mashed banana work well in moist cakes and muffins, while flax eggs are better for denser baked goods like cookies and quick breads.
Does aquafaba work for meringues?
Yes, aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) whips up similarly to egg whites and is popular for vegan meringues and macarons.
Will the substitute change the flavor of my recipe?
Banana and applesauce can add slight sweetness and flavor, while flax egg and aquafaba are more neutral-tasting substitutes.
