Ive tried a few dif things... the best so far is a 1/4th cup of pure natural applesuace per egg. The FAAN his a great page on it with some other options:

Bette Hagman uses it in addition to eggs - to help with the texture/rising. If you can't find it, try mixing 1 tsp. baking soda and 2 tsp. baking powder (or any amount in the same ratio) and measuring the amount you need. It's not exactly what the egg replacer is, but it should work in a recipe that also calls for eggs. In a recipe that doesn't use real eggs, you can substitute one egg for every 1-1/2 tsp egg replacer and reduce liquid by 3 Tbs.

hey there, here are a few websites you can get ener egg replacer
http://www.ener-g.com/store/detail.aspx?sn...tes&id=97&cat=8

http://www.veganessentials.com/catalog/ene...gg-replacer.htm

here is also something I found somewhere else...I haven't tried all these before

Egg replacers
2 eggs - Use 1/2 cup soft silken tofu.

Ener-G Egg Replacer - follow directions on box.
2 Tbsp corn starch = 1 egg
2 Tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg
2 Tbsp potato starch = 1 egg
1 heaping Tbsp soy powder + 2 Tbsp water = 1 egg
1 Tbsp soy milk powder + 1 Tbsp cornstarch + 2 Tbsps water = 1 egg.
1 Tbsp flax seeds + 1 cup water = 1 egg. Blend seeds and water for 1 to 2 minutes
until desired consistency.
1 banana = 1 egg in cakes.

I have used banana to repalce oil before so their is less fat... but I usually use the ener-g if the recipe calls for 4 eggs I use 2 eggs and ener-g for the other two...but I use egg replacer in almost all my recipes it seems to help make things taste more like wheat products. good luck

went to the ener g site, and they directed me to a local grocer here who carries it. 6 blocks from my house, i'd never heard of it before lol

My favorite egg replacer is 1 1/2T water, 1 1/2T canola oil, 1 tsp baking powder mixed together = 1 egg
It works for up to 2 eggs

I use 1 tbsp ground flax mixed with 3 tbsp hot water for each egg. When I need fluffiness, I also double baking soda and baking powder.
