I recently got a comment on my post about the 5 minute chocolate cupcake, asking if I know of a substitute for egg. Although I have not tested this myself, I found the following options around the web. If you’re familiar with any of these please let us know whether they are successful or not!

What is a good substitute for eggs? Have a look at the options below – each option is equal to one egg. There are some of these which I would not recommend for microwave cooking. See all marked with * which are recommended.

• 2 tablespoons water mixed with 1 tablespoon oil, 2 teaspoons baking powder and 2 tablespoon cornstarch *

• 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour

• 2 tablespoons potato starch

• 1 heaped tablespoon soy powder, 2 tablespoons water

• 1 tablespoon soy milk powder, 1 tablespoon cornstarch & 2 tablespoons water

• 1/4 cup Apple / Banana puree (or any high pectin content fruit) *

• 1 tablespoon milled flax seed and 3 tablespoons water

• 1/4 cup tofu

If you have any additional suggestions which you know work well, please let us know!
