This is from the Farmer's Almanac website:
What is a good substitute for eggs?
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 tbsp water = 1 egg.
1 banana = 1 egg in cakes.

And this is from about.com:
As a general rule, the fewer eggs a recipe calls for, the easier they will be to substitute. So, if a cookie recipe calls for one egg, using an egg substitute will work much better than in a recipe that requires three or four eggs. Also consider how the substitute will affect the overall taste of the finished dish. Bananas, for example, may add a welcome hint of fruity sweetness to pancakes and cookies, but if you are making a casserole or another savory dish, you will want to use something else.

Hope that helps.
use lemon lime soda. my niece and nephew have food allergies and my sister uses lemon lime soda to replace eggs in all cookies and cakes that she makes for them. Search the web for exact substitution.

I usually use 1/8 cup of applesauce instead of eggs. It makes things come out nicely.
