Whether you don't eat eggs or don't have any on hand, you may be looking for an egg-free dessert recipe. I've collected 25 homemade baked desserts that are all written to be egg-free to share with you today.

The purpose of eggs in baking

It's common to find eggs in recipes like cakes, brownies, and cookies. Why do these recipes need eggs?

The primary purpose of eggs in baking is to bind ingredients together and add structure. They also add protein, fat, and moisture. When eggs are whipped, they can also add a lighter texture and lift when baked.

The good news is that if you don't have eggs on hand, or can't eat eggs, there are a variety of egg substitutes and combined ingredients that can help act as an egg when needed.

Baking without eggs

Not all egg substitutes are created equal. It depends on the recipe as to which one will work best. While banana may make a great substitute in one recipe, a flax egg may work better in the next.

If you'd like to bake without eggs, it's much wiser to use a recipe that's already developed not to include eggs at all. The author has tested the recipe and included the necessary ingredients to make it successful. That means there's no guesswork on your part.

If you're looking for a particular dessert made without eggs, try including "eggless" or "egg-free" in your next Google search.
