Best Egg Substitutes for Keto Baking

Ground flaxseed (flax eggs) – 1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg

Great for muffins, breads, and cookies.

Chia seeds – 1 tbsp chia seeds + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg

Adds moisture and binding, perfect for dense baked goods.

Psyllium husk powder – Use 1–2 tsp in combination with water

Helps structure low-carb bread.

Nut butters (almond, peanut) – 3 tbsp = 1 egg

Adds flavor and richness, best for cookies or brownies.

Coconut cream or yogurt – 1/4 cup = 1 egg

Sour cream - 1/4 cup = 1 egg

Warm water instead of coconut, almond, or whole milk helps the rise of the baked good

Adds moisture to quick breads and cakes.

Tips for Eggless Keto Baking

Add extra baking powder or soda to help rise.

Use apple cider vinegar + baking soda to help activate the rise in cakes or breads.

Eggless keto baking opens up a world of low-carb possibilities without sacrificing taste or texture. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can enjoy everything from muffins to cookies—even without a single egg.

The Best Is For Last-Extra Rising Tip:

When you mix apple cider vinegar (ACV) and baking soda before incorporating them into your keto bread batter, it creates an immediate chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide bubbles, which helps the bread rise more effectively and gives it a lighter texture.

Here’s how to use it for a better rise:

Step 1: Mix the dry and wet ingredients of your keto bread recipe in separate bowls as usual.

Step 2: In a small cup, mix the baking soda with the ACV (it will fizz and foam).

Step 3: Immediately fold the foaming mixture into your batter just before baking.

This technique gives your bread a nice lift without yeast or eggs, especially useful in eggless keto bread, muffins, or pancakes.
