Whether it is a family dinner for a special occasion, an upcoming birthday celebration, a festival, or just a treat for your loved ones, a well-baked dessert completes a meal and makes it memorable. A lot of baked goodies contain eggs, and for good reason too. Eggs are typically used to add structure, moisture, flavor and much more to your baked goods.
Having said that, not everyone is a fan of eggs. Perhaps you are vegetarian by choice, or baking for vegetarian friends, or have dietary restrictions that forbid any eggless cake. Whatever the reason may be when you are baking for a crowd it is easier to go sans-eggs than making many desserts to satisfy all your peeps!
Baking without eggs can be tricky but not impossible. There are a lot of egg substitutes that can be used to bake. But simply swapping eggs to create eggless dessert recipes will just not work. The role of eggs varies considerably from one dish to another, so in order to successfully use an egg alternative, it is important to know why eggs are used in the first place. Is it for structure? As a leavening agent? For moisture or color? So, instead of hazarding a guess, try some of our favorite tried-and-tested eggless dessert recipes that use easily available substitutes for eggs, like condensed milk, baking soda, and yogurt.
