how i can replace egg in vegan foods?!
Answers:
Unsweetened apple sauce or bananas. (I use the apple sauce for oil substitue as well. If it calls for oil or margarine, I use apple sauce. It's cheaper and makes the food fat free.)

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies:
http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=27094.…
~~ I use all whole wheat flour (which I do for all of my baking)
~~ I use the applesauce for the margarine
~~ I have omitted the vanilla because I have started to bake them, and found out I was out.
~~ I skip the salt
~~ I use more than one banana. One is not enough to moisten the dough and the more bananas I use, the more cookies I have. (I have not had enough bananas, usually about four, so I add water; if it gets too wet, I add more flour.)
~~ I wind up using a full bag of Trader Joe's semi-sweet chocolate chips. (I've also used the Value Kroger brand semi-sweet chocolate chips, too.)
Bad Girl Being Good Banana Bread:

~~ Again, I use whole wheat flour
~~ I skip the salt
~~ I add cinnamon to taste. (Occasionally, I add nutmeg, if it's not hiding in the cabinet.)
~~ I use about two one-eighth cups of Florida Crystals sugar. The bananas make it plenty sweet.
~~ Again, I have skipped vanilla, due to its absence in my cabinet.
~~ Three bananas don't seem to be enough. I add more. If I have more batter than what will fit in my square glass pan, I add baking soda for muffins. If I have leftovers from that, I let my three-
year-old eat it.
~~ I use filtered water for the liquid. Less calories and cheaper than using soy milk.
Anyway, just my two recipes. I should expand, but not with a five-week-old and I can barely get meals for myself. :-D (Last Wednesday I made banana bread for my MOPS group breakfast table. I started it in the morning, got interrupted when my son woke up, put in the bananas in the afternoon during his nap and finally baked it the next morning. In the past, from start to finish, it took about an hour, even when my three-year-old "helped". Eh.)
It depends on why you need to replace the eggs.
In baking, I use Ener-G Egg Replacer, a mix of starches and leaveners. It comes in an ugly 70s-looking orangish box, but the instructions are pretty clear. A box of the stuff lasts forever.
You can also grind one tablespoon of flax seeds and mix with three tablespoons of water to make one egg.
Or you can use silken tofu--1/4 cup per egg, liquefied in a blender.
I don't like using applesauce or bananas. The former doesn't help with leavening, and the latter leaves a strong banana taste (this might be good if you're making a banana bread).
Tofu is pretty good for things like scrambling, but for cakes and baking you can buy vegan egg replacement powder, Allergycare is a pretty good brand

there's a commercial product called Ener-G egg replacer that I've heard good things about. You can use applesauce or a banana in place of an egg in some baking recipes. I personally like to use ground flax seed plus water. For one egg, use 1 tbsp of ground flax seed plus 3 tbsp water.
In baking, grind 1 tbsp of flax seed in a coffee grinder. Mix with up to 3 tbsp of water until it forms a paste. This replaces 1 egg. Worked in my cookies last night! :)
They sell actual "egg re-placers" if you're looking for stuff for recipes to replace eggs. Otherwise, a lot of vegs I know just use tofu.
soy yogurt, egg replacer.
Tofu maybe? And bargain b?tch, screw off!
