How to Make Baked Goods Without Eggs: Experienced Chefs Reveal Secrets

In most cases, chicken eggs are used when preparing baked goods.
In recipes, they are “responsible” for the uniform texture, pleasant looseness of the dough and the beautiful color of the dish.
However, it is worth remembering that eggs can make baked goods tougher. Also, desserts containing the product cannot be enjoyed during Lent. Plant-based diet adherents cannot eat baked goods with eggs either.
Fortunately, enterprising cooks have developed a number of tricks that can make perfect baked goods without chicken eggs.
What can replace this component?
Chia seeds
This is a very simple way to make quality and healthy baked goods. Some people put a spoonful of seeds in a coffee grinder, grind it to a powder, mix it with water and add it to the dough.
Others simply pour water into the superfood in a ratio of 1 to 2.5 and wait five minutes.
Flax seeds have a similar effect, but their taste can be felt in the finished product.
Soy lecithin
This interesting product can be purchased in specialized stores, but it is very easy to use.
It is necessary to dilute a spoon of lecithin in the same amount of water. One spoon can replace one chicken egg.
Banana puree
To replace eggs, it is customary to use very overripe bananas. They are easily mashed to a puree state using a regular fork.
The amount of the component is determined by the consistency of the dough.
