Flax seeds 
Ground Flax Seeds 
| 1 Tablespoon flax seeds+ 3 Tbsp water=1 egg. Finely Grind 1 tbsp whole flaxseeds in a blender or coffee grinder, or use 2 1/2 tablespoons pre-ground flaxseeds. Transfer to a bowl and beat in 3 tablespoons of water using a whisk or fork. It will become very gooey and gelatinous, much like an egg white. In some recipes, you can leave the ground flax in the blender and add the other wet ingredients to it, thus saving you the extra step of the bowl. | It tastes best and works very well in things like pancakes, and the texture works for cookies. Chocolate flavor cake-y recipes have mixed results, I would recommend only using half portion flax-egg in those, because the taste can be overpowering.
| Health and food store(In the U.S., Walmart have them in baking section) Also Indian grocers carry them. Tips:
Always store ground flaxseeds in the freezer because they are highly perishable. This mixture is not only an excellent replacement for eggs, it also contributes vital omega-3 fatty acids. I use coffe grinder to grind raw flax seeds. No need to roast flax seeds. |

Regular Silken Tofu 
Organic silken Tofu 
| 1/4 cup blended tofu = 1 egg. Blen until completely smooth and creamy, leaving no graininess or chunks. You will want to add other wet ingredients to this mixture to get it to blend properly. I recommend vacuum packed extra firm silken tofu, such as Mori-Nu. | Dense cakes and brownies, and in smaller quantites for lighter cakes and fluffy things (if the recipe calls for 3 eggs only use 2 "tofu" eggs"). Whizzed tofu leaves virtually no taste, so it is an excellent replacer in cake recipes. In cookie recipes, it may make the cookie more cake-y and fluffy than anticipated, add 1 teaspoon of starch to the recipe (such as arrowroot or corn starch) to combat that. | Health food store shelves, and in most supermarkets. |

| 1/2 banana blended until smooth or mashed well= 1 egg. Bananas work wonders as an egg replacer in baking, which is the reason many banana bread recipes don't require eggs. They hold the air bubbles well, make things nice and moist, and impart a nice flavor. However, you don't want everything tasting like banana, so use in things where the taste won't be intrusive. I've also noticed that baked goods using banana brown very nicely. | Quick breads, muffins, cakes, pancakes. Tip: Make sure bananas are nice and ripe and have started to brown. | I think you know better than me where to find banana!!! |
