Eggs with mashed bananas

The all-powerful egg serves various functions in baking. Fortunately, there are a variety of good egg substitutes available, including an unexpected one: ripe mashed bananas, which may replace eggs in recipes where their primary function is to bind the components together (via Organic Authority). However, you may anticipate your products to taste (at least a little) like bananas.

If you use ripe and mushy bananas instead of eggs, your baked items will have a softer texture. After all, bananas are 75% water, which means they're drenched in moisture. However, because bananas have the potential to make your cake a little rubbery, you may need to play with your recipe a little to get the texture just right. If you're seeking an egg alternative that will give your cake a rise, vinegar, and baking soda may be the combo for you.
