My recipe calls for 4 eggs (Banana bread) but I only have 2. What can I substitute?

I have flax seeds???

Don't know your timing or your pantry, but two more possibilities:
* soft tofu (2 oz/quarter cup for each egg) buzzed up with the liquids in blender, processor or mixer.
* aqua faba (liquid from canned chick peas). See link for more details

Could you just halve the recipe?

I always use the 2-1-2 substitute. 2T water, 1 t oil, and 2t baking powder. Otherwise, you could substitute 1 T ground flax with 3T water per egg.

Another 1/2 mashed banana. I have also used applesauce in baking to sub for eggs, about 1/4 cup for 1 egg. If the applesauce is sweet, you may want to reduce the sugar in the recipe.

That's 1/2 mashed banana = 1 egg
