Substitution Tips
Eggs in Baking
Eggs provide structure, moisture, and leavening. Use flax/chia eggs for binding, aquafaba for airy textures, and banana/applesauce for moisture.
Butter Alternatives
For flaky pastries, use solid fats like coconut oil. For moist cakes, oil or applesauce works well. Vegan butter is the most direct swap.
Flour Swaps
Gluten-free flours often need binders like xanthan gum. Coconut flour absorbs more liquid, so adjust recipes accordingly.
Sugar Replacements
Liquid sweeteners like honey and maple syrup require reducing other liquids. Sugar alcohols may cause a cooling sensation.
