I have a child who is allergic to eggs and am wondering if there is something else I can use when baking our favourite recipies.

The eggs are a much needed fat in the cake. They make the batter smooth, light, and fine. Too many eggs can make the cake too tough. If it only calls for one egg then it probably won't make much difference. It will just make it a bit richer. If it calls for more than that then you may want to buy the correct size eggs called for. Most stores sell half dozen cartons if they aren't the kind of egg you would normally use.

Tofu: Tofu is great for egg substitutions in recipes that call for a lot of egg (like quiches). To substitute for only one egg in a recipe, whip 1/4 cup tofu and add to your cooking.
Stuff around your kitchen:
1 whole egg = 2 tbsp water + 1 tbsp oil + 2 tsp baking powder
1 egg = 1 tbsp ground flax seed simmered in 3 tbsp water
1 egg = 2 tbsp water + 2 tsp baking powder
egg white = dissolve 1 tbsp plain agar powder in 1 tbsp water. Whip, chill and whip again.
For use in sweet baking:
Try substituting 1 banana or 1/4 cup apple sauce for each egg called for in a sweet, baked recipe. These will flavour the recipe, however, so make sure banana or apple will taste good in it.

I know this won't work in all your recipes, but substitute 1/4 cup pureed avocado for each egg. It has a creamy protien to fat ratio that gives a similar consistency as an egg!

Applesauce in cakes and biscuits don't need eggs.

I've heard that applesauce can be substituted but I don't know what the conversion of eggs to applesauce would be.

well unless u can find something else that can facilitate oil and water together u have no choice. the egg is used in baking so that u can mix oil and water together. because without the egg they will never mix together

Try the egg substitues, that is about the only thing that is going to work.
