There are many reasons to not eat eggs...If you are trying to avoid a lot of animal protein, trying to lower your cholesterol, or have an allergy. Although I believe eggs in moderation is fine, I prefer to substitute eggs for other healthier options when making quick breads (pancakes, muffins, waffles, etc) or other baked goods.
The perfect substitute for eggs used as a binder is either 1/4 cup natural applesauce, 1/4 cup pureed banana, or 1/4 cup pureed pumpkin. You can even substitute 1/4 c yogurt if you want or use flaxseeds/chia seeds and water! These all add another depth of flavor! For instance, bananas add a welcome hint of fruity sweetness and the seeds add a nutty taste. Have fun experimenting with the flavors in your own quickbreads!
