Savory recipes

1. Chickpea Frittata

Wholesome chickpea flour takes the spotlight, creating a protein-rich base, while sautéed zucchini adds freshness and flavor.

This plant–powered frittata is a satisfying and nutritious way to start your day, proving that egg-free breakfasts can be just as delicious and satisfying.

2. Tofu scramble

Revitalize your mornings with this 5–minute scrambled tofu, a satisfying alternative to traditional eggs.

Seasoned to perfection with Kala Namak (black salt), this vegan breakfast dish mimics the eggy flavor, providing a savory kick that will elevate your taste buds.

3. Chickpea crepes

4. Egg-free frittata muffins

Next on our list are oven-baked, frittata–like muffins made with chickpea flour to replace eggs and then stuffed with your favorite vegetables.

TIP: If you want to add some eggy flavor to the muffins, add a couple of pinches kala namak to the batter.

5. Egg-free mayonnaise

We use unsweetened soy milk as the emulsifier for our vegan mayonnaise recipe. Like egg yolk, soy milk contains lecithin, which, when blended with lemon juice and oil, forms a thick, creamy, and stable mayonnaise.

This thick, creamy, spreadable, and tasty recipe feels like regular mayo. You can use it in salads and dressings or as a spread in sandwiches and wraps.

6. Tofu egg salad

Firm tofu and extra firm tofu mimic boiled eggs incredibly well. You need to cut it into small pieces as if you were cutting real eggs for a regular egg salad.

TIP: crumble some of the tofu pieces with your hands. This way, they’ll resemble the crumbled egg yolk texture (especially when coated in our creamy eggy dressing).

7. Homemade gnocchi

Here, we’ll show you how to make gnocchi with three simple ingredients and shape them with a fork. Our recipe is the original Italian one without eggs.

It’s served with a simple tomato sauce, Bolognese, or butter sage sauce.

8. Vegan zucchini pie

The star ingredient in our zucchini pie is chickpea flour (garbanzo bean flour).

18. Vegan carrot cake

Carrot cake can be easily made vegan (that is, without eggs, butter, or milk) with simple ingredients and vegan frosting.

Despite having less sugar, less oil, and no eggs, it’s incredible and rich, and the texture is light and moist, just like the carrot cake of your best dreams.

19. Egg-free zucchini muffins

Shredded zucchini is the perfect ingredient to make light and moist zucchini muffins.

The grated zucchini acts as a binder, which means there is no need to add eggs. The muffins stay together like magic while keeping light and healthy.

TIP: these muffins are perfect for bringing to putlocks and feeding a crowd.

20. Vegan tiramisu

Here, we show you how to make a tiramisù without eggs, dairy, and nuts but with all the same textures and flavor nuances of a real Italian tiramisù.

Bananas are a great egg replacement in pancakes. They bind the batter together while adding a naturally sweet flavor.

24. Egg-free lemon cake

There’s no need for egg replacements in this soft and airy vegan lemon cake.

With vegan cakes, it’s all about getting the ratios of wet and dry ingredients right.

Flax eggs, ground flax seeds, aquafaba, or other egg replacements are unnecessary and often change the cake’s texture, consistency, and flavor.

25. Acquafaba meringues

Vegan meringues are as light, crisp, and delicious as traditional meringues. The aquafaba is phenomenal for this preparation, and you won’t taste the chickpea flavor at all.

The crazy thing is that aquafaba’s foaming properties make it the perfect egg white replacement for meringues and various desserts.

How to replace eggs in baking?

In most cakes and desserts, there’s no need for egg replacements.

For example, with vegan cakes, it’s all about getting the ratios of wet and dry ingredients right, and in our recipes we test this many times until we get perfect cake consistency.

So if possible, we would recommend to avoid flax eggs, ground flax seeds, aquafaba, or other egg replacements because they often change the cake’s texture, consistency, and flavor.

However, in some case, egg-replacements might be necessary. Here are some common egg replacements you can use for baking:

• Flaxseed or Chia Seed Eggs: Mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseeds or chia seeds with three tablespoons of water to replace one egg. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until it thickens and has an egg-like consistency.

• Applesauce: Replace each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce. This works well in recipes where added sweetness and moisture won’t affect the final product.
• Bananas: Mashed ripe bananas can add moisture and binding properties to your baked goods, such as banana muffins and zucchini banana bread.
• Yogurt, soy yogurt, or Buttermilk: Substitute an equal amount of yogurt or buttermilk for eggs in recipes.
  You can use soy yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free alternatives, as we did with our lemon pound cake and lemon blueberry cake.
• Vinegar and Baking Soda: Mix one tablespoon of vinegar (apple cider vinegar or white vinegar) with one teaspoon of baking soda to replace one egg.
• Commercial Egg Replacer: Consider using commercial egg replacers available in many grocery stores.
  While we don’t have any experience with these products, they have decent ratings on Target.
