I would like to make a banana bread to take to work but all recipes have egg in them. I need it to be eggless. Is that possible? Should I substitute something else for the egg?
In place of one egg, you can use 1 tablespoon ground flax seed in 3 tablespoons water, let sit until a 'gel" forms. This is regularly used in gluten free baking.
You can get some egg substitute from bakery stores. Also, when making a quick bread you can substitute eggs by using soy lecithin. But another good option is to use chickpeas flour diluted in water instead of eggs, 2 tbs of flour to substitute one egg. Use enough water to get a texture similar to an egg, maybe a little bit thicker, le it sit for about 10 minutes and then use it for your batter. You can use a mixture of chickpeas flour and also use soy lecithin, and the results will be incredible.
I appreciate all your responses! It's fabulous to have so many diverse options - I appreciate your sharing your knowledge with me. I have a wonderful friend who is vegan; it is great to know how I can keep her included in my baking.

Banana is actaully a great binder
Try upping the banana by 1/2 banana for each egg. I make banana nut muffins regularly this way.
Thank you all!
