    Good afternoon Jyoti.
    Thank you for your question. The best egg replacement to use, in my opinion, is a mix of water, oil and baking powder. The recipe is as follow – 1 egg = 2tbsp Water + 1tbsp Oil + 2tsp Baking powder.

    Let us know how it turns out.

    Blessings to you too!

    Kind Regards
