  1. Eggs to replace = 2
  2. Weight of the eggs replaced = 2 * 50 = 100
  3. Ground flaxseed = 2 * 1 = 2
  4. Water to mix with the flax = 2 * 45 = 90
  5. Or applesauce = 2 * 60 = 120
  6. Or mashed banana = 2 * 65 = 130
  7. Or aquafaba = 2 * 45 = 90
  8. Or yogurt = 2 * 60 = 120
  9. Or blended silken tofu = 2 * 60 = 120

Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.

    The formula

    • one large egg is about 50 g out of the shell
    • flax egg: 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed plus 45 mL water, rested 5 minutes

    Fruit purees add sweetness and moisture but no lift; use them in dense bakes, not in sponges.

    Aquafaba whips like egg white and is the only substitute here that will make a meringue.
