    They are an essential binder to most recipes and finding substitutes for my vegan cooking is always a chemistry experiment.

      If it is just a single egg, you can often just remove it and be ok. With two eggs add a bit more flour (banana also works but alters taste). More than that and no idea.

      At least that is what my fiancée says

        LOL you can’t just leave an egg out. At least not anything that I would want to make. I use apple sauce and/or egg binder but not altering the flavor sometimes requires more chemistry, like adding a chemical emulsifier.

        I am still waiting for literally anyone to do some testing about the PCB levels in aquafaba when using canned bean water…
