2 oz of soft tofu can be blended with some water and substituted for an egg to add consistency. Or try the same quantity of: mashe'd beans, mashe'd potatoes, or nut butters.
1/2 mashe'd banana
1/4 cup applesauce or pureed fruit
One tablespoon flax seeds (found in natural food stores) with 3 tablespoon water can be blended for 2 to 3 minutes, or boiled for 10 minutes or until desired consistency is achieved to substitute for one egg.
1 teaspoon soy flour plus 1 tablespoon water to substitute for one egg.

1 egg = 2 tablespoons liquid + 2 tablespoons flour + ½ tablespoon shortening + ½ teaspoon baking powder
You can also try other egg substitutes while baking:
gelatin (To replace each egg: Dissolve 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin in 1 tablespoon cold water, then add 2 tablespoons boiling water. Beat vigorously until frothy.)
cornstarch (Substitute 1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 3 tablespoons water for each egg called for in recipe.
mayonnaise (Substitute 3 tablespoons mayonnaise for each egg called for in recipe.)
bananas (Substitute 1/2 of a mashed ripe banana plus 1/4 teaspoon baking powder for each egg.)
