Why is Banana Used to Replace Eggs in Vegan Baking Recipes?
Yes, that’s right! Bananas are used to replace eggs in baking recipes. Eggs provide binding, leavening and moisture to your baked good, and it turns out bananas can do the same. They can provide moisture and binding, so you’ll need some extra leavening for your baking goods. But bananas also add more flavor! That’s why you’ll have to take this into account when you want to use them to replace eggs. Only use them when their flavor is complimentary.
You can start by experimenting! Replace only half of the eggs with bananas to get you started and see how it goes. You can do this with cakes, brownies, and quick bread recipes. Now, you may be wondering how to use bananas for baking purposes, here’s how:
Take a banana, mash it with a fork, and make sure there aren’t any big lumps left. It takes about a ¼ cup of mashed banana per egg, so all you have to do is measure it and mix it with the rest of the wet ingredients. Then you’ll want to add ¼ to ½ teaspoon of baking powder per egg and mix it with the rest of the dry ingredients. Do this in recipes where leavening is important, and that’s it!
Vegan Banana Pancakes
Ingredients

- oil for cooking
Instructions
- Add bananas, milk, flour, baking soda and cocoa powder into a blender. Blend well.
- Add chia seeds.
- Grease a non-stick pan with some oil.
- Using a ladle, pour in a small amount of batter (about 1/2 of the ladle).
