Egg Substitutes

Below is a list of various items that work awesome as an egg substitute.


¼ cup of canola oil = 1 egg

¼ cup of carbonated water = 1 egg

¼ cup of plain yogurt = 1 egg

¼ cup of buttermilk = 1 egg

¼ cup of sour cream = 1 egg

¼ cup of plain creamed potatoes = 1 egg

3 tablespoons of peanut butter = 1 egg

3 tablespoons of almond butter = 1 egg

¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce = 1 egg (The best egg substitute that can be used in any recipe for an egg substitute.)

¼ cup of mashed banana = 1 egg

¼ cup of mashed mango

¼ cup of mashed avocado = 1 egg

1 teaspoon of baking soda mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar = 1 egg

¼ cup of silken tofu = 1 egg


These ingredients can be substituted in almost everything that requires an egg. They make your recipes taste almost exactly like you used an egg, but the two best substitutes for an egg are: unsweetened applesauce and baking soda mixed with vinegar.

Internet Troubles: A Quick Update

Internet Troubles: A Quick Update What’s Going On? Hey everyone! I wanted to take a moment to share something that’s been really frustrating for me. Since early March, my internet has been acting like it’s on vacation—totally gone! I’ve tried so many times to share new posts with you all, but every time I hit “upload,” it just doesn’t work. It’s like my internet is playing hide and seek, and it’s winning! My Struggles I’ve done everything I can think of to fix this problem. I’ve checked my connections, restarted my router, and even called my internet provider for help. But no luck! It feels like I’m stuck in a never-ending game of “Will It Work?” and the answer is always “No.” Keeping It Simple Because of all this trouble, I’m keeping this post super simple. I can’t even add any cool photos right now because I’m not sure if it will upload. I just wanted to let you all know what’s been happening and why I haven’t been able to share more with you. Thanks for being patient with me!
