With an increasing number of people adopting plant-based diets or facing allergies to eggs, finding suitable substitutes in baking has become a common quest. Fear not, as I have the perfect solution for you! This recipe will show you how to make delectable cookies without eggs. So let’s get baking with this fantastic “Substitute For Egg In Cookie” recipe!
**Ingredients:**
– 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
– 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana
– 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water
**Instructions:**
1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens to a gel-like consistency.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce and mashed ripe banana. These natural ingredients will add moisture and binding properties to your cookies.
4. Once the flaxseed mixture has thickened, add it to the bowl with the applesauce and banana. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
5. Now, it’s time to incorporate your dry ingredients. For a classic cookie flavor, you can use 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms.
6. If you’re feeling adventurous, feel free to add in some chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit at this stage for extra flavor and texture!
7. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between each cookie as they will spread out while baking.
8. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure even baking.
9. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
10. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
