Eggs

There are a number of alternatives to eggs, depending on the type of dessert. For example: 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar + 1 1/2 tablespoons plant milk or apple cider vinegar + baking powder or flax seeds mixed with water (5 grams of flax seeds for every 1 1/2 liters). Another option that might be easier is fruit-based and contains a certain amount of pectin: banana puree, apple puree (for 1 egg, sub 1/2 blended banana or 2 ounces applesauce). You can even sub about 1/4 cup firm or silky tofu. To glaze your cakes, replace the egg yolk with a bit of milk and sugar.
