About this calculator
Convert eggs called for in a recipe into the right amount of a chosen substitute like flaxseed, applesauce, banana, or aquafaba, scaled to your recipe size.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all egg substitutes work the same in every recipe?
No. Flax and chia eggs work best as binders in dense baked goods like muffins and cookies, while aquafaba mimics whipped egg whites better for lighter textures like meringues.
How do I make a flax or chia egg?
Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed or chia seed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg, then let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to gel before adding to your batter.
Can I mix substitutes in one recipe?
Yes, some bakers combine substitutes (like applesauce plus a flax egg) for better structure and moisture balance in recipes needing multiple eggs.
