FAQs

What to use instead of egg in banana bread? ›

Adding more eggs makes for a spongy, less flavorful banana bread. Doubling the number of eggs I was using resulted in a spongy cake with a moist texture.

Both of these substitutes add moisture to the baked good, like eggs, but they can impart a little flavor to the mix (your cookies will probably taste a little reminiscent of banana bread, which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

The leavening power of baking soda is about three to four times stronger than baking powder. This means that you need a lot less baking soda in your recipes. If a recipe calls for baking soda and you only have baking powder, you need to use the right baking soda to baking powder conversion.

The main difference is that baking powder already contains an acid in the chemical mixture, while baking soda needs an acidic ingredient to create that rising reaction. So when swapping baking powder for baking soda in banana bread, the importance of using the appropriate measurements comes into play.

Banana. Use ripe bananas to add moisture. One mashed banana can replace one egg in cakes and pancakes. Since it will add a bit of flavor, make sure that it's compatible with the other ingredients of the recipe.

Bananas can go from yellow with brown spots to totally black and still be okay to eat and use for baking. In fact, black bananas are some of the best for making banana bread because they have developed more sugar as they sit around and therefore taste sweeter. They may also be moister, which is perfect for baked goods.

Common egg substitutes include flaxseed meal or applesauce, while non-dairy milk and plant-based oils replace traditional dairy ingredients. What can be used as an egg substitute in vegan banana muffins?

How much banana should I use to replace one egg? Generally, half a mashed banana (about 1/4 cup) can replace one egg. However, it's important to consider the moisture content of the recipe as bananas also add moisture.

Olive Oil. This is a quick trick to try if you have run out of eggs or any other egg substitutes and are in a bit of a pinch! Olive oil is useful as an egg replacement for cookies, and especially if you are only short one egg for the full recipe. You can pop one quarter cup olive oil into your recipe, stir, and voila!
