How to replace an egg in plant-based baking and cooking

For baking:

1 egg = ½ avocado  

1 egg = ½ ripe banana  

1 egg = 3 tablespoons aquafaba (the water that chickpeas is cooked in, or what you drain out of a can of chickpeas)  

1 egg = 3 tablespoons peanut butter  

1 egg = 1 teaspoon baking powder + 1 tablespoon vinegar  

1 egg = ¼ cup apple puree 

1 egg = 1 tablespoon ground linseed + 3 tablespoons water 

Cooking swaps: 

• Make a breakfast scramble with crumbled tofu or tempeh. 
• Swap hard-boiled eggs with white beans in salads.
• Make an omelette with chickpea flour and a pinch of turmeric for colour.

Making small changes to what you eat will have a huge positive impact on your health, the planet and for animals.
