A quick and versatile vegan egg substitute that mimics eggs’ binding power and creamy texture, perfect for baking and cooking without compromising flavor or texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup (about 60g) silken tofu, blended smooth
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or neutral oil (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder (optional)
  • Pinch of salt or nutritional yeast for savory dishes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure ¼ cup (60g) of silken tofu and 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed. Freshly grind flaxseed if possible.
  2. Add silken tofu, ground flaxseed, 3 tablespoons of water, and 1 teaspoon of oil to a blender or food processor. Add a pinch of salt or nutritional yeast for savory dishes.
  3. Blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute until creamy and lump-free, resembling beaten eggs or thick batter.
  4. Stir in ¼ teaspoon of baking powder if extra rise is desired (optional).
  5. Use the mixture immediately; ¼ cup equals one large egg.
  6. Gently fold the substitute into your batter or cooking mixture.
  7. Cook or bake as usual, adjusting liquids in your recipe if needed.

Notes

Use freshly ground flaxseed for best binding. Blend thoroughly to avoid lumps. Adjust liquid amounts in your recipe to compensate for added moisture. Use immediately for best results; store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours and stir before use. Optional baking powder can improve rise in baked goods. Variations include using chia seeds soaked in water, adding avocado for richness, or swapping water for plant milk.
