Substitute Applesauce for Eggs When Baking for Healthier, Allergy-Free Cakes and Muffins

If you're baking for someone who has an allergy to eggs or you just want to cut down on the cholesterol in your baked goods, try switching out the eggs for a quarter-cup of unsweetened, unspiced applesauce. The applesauce will act as a binder, and keep your baked goods just moist.

Baking pros likely know this substitution already, but for those of us who want to make muffins and find we're out of eggs, it can be a lifesaver. The applesauce-for-eggs trick is most often used by vegetarians and vegans who don't want to eat eggs, but it works just as well for people trying to manage their cholesterol or bake for someone who has an allergy to eggs or egg whites. Plus, it's a healthy substitution that can be made in a variety of recipes.
