How do I convert a recipe to vegan?
To convert a recipe to vegan, replace animal-based ingredients with plant-based alternatives. For eggs, use 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water (flax egg), 3 tbsp aquafaba, or 1/4 cup applesauce per egg. For dairy milk, substitute equal parts oat, soy, or almond milk. For butter, use vegan butter or coconut oil. For honey, use maple syrup or agave nectar. Our AI tool automates this entire process — just snap a photo.
What is the best vegan egg substitute for baking?
The best vegan egg substitute depends on the recipe. For cakes and muffins, use 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water (flax egg) or 1/4 cup applesauce per egg. For meringues, use 3 tbsp aquafaba per egg. For brownies and dense baked goods, use 1/4 cup silken tofu per egg. For light cakes, use 1 tsp baking soda + 1 tbsp vinegar.
How much aquafaba equals one egg?
3 tablespoons of aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) equals one egg. For egg whites, use 2 tablespoons whipped until stiff peaks form. Aquafaba works best in meringues, mousses, macarons, and light baked goods.
What is a flax egg and how do I make one?
A flax egg is a vegan egg replacement made by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens to a gel-like consistency. One flax egg replaces one chicken egg in baking. It works best in muffins, pancakes, cookies, and quick breads.
Can I substitute vegan butter for regular butter in baking?
Yes, vegan butter can be substituted 1:1 for regular butter in most baking recipes. Use stick-form vegan butter (not tub spread) for best results, as it has the same fat content as dairy butter. Coconut oil also works — use refined coconut oil to avoid coconut flavor.
What can I substitute for milk in a vegan recipe?
Plant-based milks substitute dairy milk 1:1 in most recipes. Soy milk is the closest in protein content for baking. Oat milk works well for creamy textures. Almond milk is low-calorie but thinner. Coconut milk adds richness for curries and desserts. Choose unsweetened and unflavored varieties for baking.
What can I use instead of honey in vegan baking?
Replace honey with maple syrup, agave nectar, or date syrup. Use 3/4 cup maple syrup for every 1 cup of honey and reduce other liquids by 1/4 cup. Agave nectar is the closest in consistency and can be used 1:1. Date syrup adds a rich caramel flavor.
