Out of eggs? Don’t cancel the muffins

Out of eggs mid-recipe? For 1 egg, stir 1 tablespoon ground flax into 3 tablespoons water and rest it 5 minutes. Applesauce or mashed banana work too.

The swap

1 egg = 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water (rest 5 min)

Good for muffins, pancakes and quick breads. 1/4 cup applesauce or 1/4 cup mashed banana also replaces 1 egg. Each option changes moisture, flavor and structure, so don’t expect the same rise or crumb as an egg.
