There are both liquid and powder ingredient substitutes for eggs that can be used when cooking or baking. Did you know if you only have large eggs and a recipe calls for extra large eggs you can substitute egg sizes? See the helpful food hack below!

Liquid Egg Substitutes for Cooking and Baking –

Ingredient substitutes for baking and egg based dishes – You can use any of the liquid egg substitutes available in the grocery store such as Egg Beaters. Egg beaters are lower in calories, fat and cholesterol than actual eggs. They can be used for both baking and in egg based dishes.

Since I usually find myself as you may find yourself, having already started a recipe or not being able to get to the store, when you are baking you can use this tried and true substitute – two tablespoons of mayonnaise is a fine substitute for a regular egg when used in batters.

Powdered Egg Substitutes –

There are powdered egg substitutes available such as Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer which is also gluten free. Just follow the instructions on the package. Powdered substitutes work well made in smaller amounts, such as a serving of scrambled eggs for breakfast and are best used for baking.

– two large eggs – use three small, two medium, two extra-large, or two jumbo eggs
