When baking some of the main ingredients are eggs, milk, and butter. But if you’re vegan or just want a healthier way of baking those things aren’t an option for you. Luckily there are many replacements for those ingredients that are plant-based friendly. Here are some: 

Egg Replacements: 

     Silken tofu (1/4 cup = 1 egg) 

     1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water (1 egg) 

     1 tbsp chia seeds + 3 tbsp water (1 egg) 

     Applesauce (1/4 cup = 1 egg) 

      Mashed banana (1/2 cup = 1egg) 

There are also products you can buy that are also great egg replacements! 

Milk Replacements: 

     Oat Milk 

     Almond Milk 

     Coconut Milk 

      Rice Milk 

Butter Replacements: 

     Vegan Butter 

     Dairy Free Yogurt 

     Apple Sauce 

    Coconut Oil
