I’ve heard from SO many of you lately how hard it is to find eggs at the grocery store, and my regular Whole Foods can barely keep them on the shelves these days. During this egg shortage I wanted to put together a big roundup of 20 of my best easy egg-free baking recipes so that you can keep baking your hearts out all season long.

You’ll find tons of (often) vegan and completely egg-free muffins, breads, cookies, and bars to satisfy your sweet tooth any time of day. I also included a few simple resources for egg-free baking below! As always, be sure to read through a recipe fully before making swaps, but rest assured, you won’t need any eggs to bake these yummy treats.

What can I swap for eggs in baking?

If a recipe specifically calls for eggs, it’s important to use them unless there is a suggested swap like a flax egg. These 20 baking recipes don’t require any eggs, and will instead bake up properly with other ingredients like flaxseed meal mixed with a wet ingredient, and even mashed banana.

Wait, what’s a “flax egg?”

I sometimes suggest trying a flax egg in baked goods that require an egg, and many of these recipes essentially use the same ingredients. A flax egg is made with flaxseed meal and water or another wet ingredient to create a gel-like consistency that’s similar to an egg! In some of the baked goods below, you’ll simply add the flaxseed meal as directed and it will help the treat bake up properly.

More vegan swaps for baking

Besides eggs, there are a few ingredients to check or swap (if it’s suggested in the recipe) to keep a baked good vegan:

For chocolate: chocolate has dairy in it, so be sure to use vegan/dairy-free chocolate chips, a bar, or chunks.
For butter: vegan butter is becoming more and more widely available! If a recipe calls for melted butter, melted coconut oil typically works well, too.
For yogurt: there are tons of great vegan and dairy-free yogurts on the market now, too.

I have tons of great dairy-free and/or vegan brand examples in this full blog post!
