NOTES: I don't personally use soy anymore due to an allergy, but have used all of these substitutions except for agar powder and soy milk powder. If you use soy, please be aware that unless it is organic, it is likely genetically modified. Soy is also high in phytoestrogens (plant estrogens that attach to estrogen receptors in the body ... not a good thing to be estrogen dominant), has a negative impact on thyroid function, and is high in anti-nutrients that reduce the body's ability to assimilate minerals and amino acids (protein).
Egg Replacers & Substitutes in Cooking and Baking (T = tablespoon):
*Great for pancakes to make them light and fluffy. Also adding 1 T white vinegar and 1 teaspoon baking soda makes an instant light foam that gives lift to baked goods. Bananas, Applesauce, Pumpkin, and Puréed Fruit These are great egg replacers in baked goods such as muffins, pancakes, or yeast-free quick breads. Bananas, applesauce, pumpkin, etc. add the perfect amount of thickness and moisture, like eggs, but they won't help your dishes rise or be light and fluffy, so be sure to add ½ teaspoon extra baking powder or baking soda to help it rise if that is the desired result. NOTE: The oil or butter called for in a recipe can be reduced or eliminated all together. When using fruits (but not pumpkin and other squashes), the amount of sugar can be reduced in the recipe as well. Best choices for Savory Recipes Arrowroot starch, potato starch, cornstarch, bean flour, cooked oatmeal, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, or instant potato flakes are all great substitutes for eggs in savory recipes casseroles and meat or vegan loaves. Try choosing an ingredient that's already a part of your recipe so you do not alter the original taste a lot. Again, egg replacers work the best as they have no taste of their own or enhance the taste of what you are making. Commercial Egg Replacers (I do not use commercial egg replacers, because I have enough ingredients on hand that I do not need a product that has only one use, but your needs may differ from mine) Ener-G Ener-G is kosher, vegan, and non-GMO project verified.

Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent used in baked goods to increase the volume and lighten the texture. Most store-bought brands contain aluminum in the form of sodium aluminum sulfate.
Sodium aluminum sulfate is produced by combining sodium sulfate and aluminum sulfate. It is also known as soda alum, sodium alum, or SAS. Sodium aluminum sulfate acts as an acid which is activated at baking temperatures, making it very effective at producing lift and a light texture to muffins, cakes, and quick breads. There are possible health concerns associated with aluminum, including increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, bone disease, and nerve problems. Hence, even though one cannot avoid aluminum altogether, it is wise, in my opinion, to reduce when it is easy to do so. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Homemade Baking Powder Ingredients
