With the current prices of eggs, having a couple of baking recipes without eggs under your belt is a good idea. If only for budget purposes.
So today I am giving you my favorite recipes that do not require any eggs at all. From a delicious vanilla cake to a tiramisu without eggs. Once you know how baking without eggs works it is not that complicated to do.
Baking recipes without eggs
Egg-free recipes are not only easy for budget purposes it is also great if you have guests or friends with an egg allergy. And while you might think that an eggless cake can not be as airy as a regular cake with whole eggs, I beg to differ.
There are a couple of tricks you need for replacing the eggs in the recipes. Or just pick one of the delicious recipes listed below.
Classic tiramisu recipe
To start the list of delicious egg free recipes I have a classic tiramisu recipe without eggs and without alcohol. I do have an option in the recipe to include alcohol if you prefer.

You can make this easy chocolate mug cake recipe in just a few minutes! Just stir the ingredients together in a mug, pop it in the microwave, and enjoy!
Scones are another delicious recipe that uses no eggs. If it’s important for you to not use any eggs, make sure you use eggless ingredients as the toppings as well. The good news is that you need a milk wash for the scones and not an egg wash. But pay attention if you would want to add lemon curd as that does contain eggs.

Homemade English scones recipe

Did you know that making your own English scones is incredibly simple? Delicious with clotted cream and a bit of jam. Perfect for high tea, but also for brunch.
One of the things that eggs provide is a moist and light texture. Not using eggs might make your cake dense and in general not the best cake. You can use various ingredients to solve that issue.
Think about adding applesauce, mashed banana or yogurt. Things like flaxseeds and chia seeds are mostly used to replace the egg and do require extra liquids like milk or water.
Another texture element is the density of the cake. Not using eggs can make the cake a lot denser. Things like apple cider vinegar, baking soda and even sparkling water can help with that.
Binding
Of course one of the best known qualities of eggs is the fact that they bind everything together. Not using eggs in your baking recipe might result in the cake or cookies falling apart.
That’s where a so called flax egg or chia seeds come in handy. They replace the function of eggs. In general the formula for a flax egg is 1 tablespoon of flax seeds to 3 tablespoons of water would replace one egg.
Browning
Don’t we all love a golden brown cookie! One aspect you might not think about when it comes to baking without eggs is the browning effect the eggs have to the end result.
You can solve part of that problem by brushing the surface (cookie recipes or similar) with melted butter or a milk mixture.
The best way to start baking your eggless recipes is to use one of the recipes I have outlined above. Those are all extensively tested and will work. I also have an article on replacing eggs and what other things you need to take into account.
