For baking you can do 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch to 2 to 3 Tablespoons of water. I have done it many times and works well

NO! That is not a good substitute for egg for someone allergic. Eggbeaters are essentially colored egg white. Most people who are alergic to egg are alergic to the white part.

chef O. · Answer

Egg beaters are also a good egg free substitute

nutcakes · Answer

I use Ener-G egg replacer for a friend who has egg allergy. I have also made her banana bread without egg, but used 1/4 cup of extra banana or fruit puree. I have omitted egg wash.

That very much depends on what you're making... Sometimes in muffins I can get away with subbing 15g ground flaxseeds and 2 Tbls hot water mixed together for 1 egg. It really depends on your recipe.
