There are many reasons that someone may not to use eggs:

  • Egg allergy or intolerance
  • Vegan diet (Note: this is a reason to not eat eggs. *None* of the recipes featured here are vegan as written!)
  • Egg price and/or availabilty
  • You just plain ran out!

I've found some of the substitutions for eggs in baking to be off-putting. Aquafaba (the liquid in a can of chickpeas), chia seeds, banana...it seems that they'd change the texture, and in some instances, the flavor of the resulting baked good. And...what am I to do with the leftover chickpeas, anyway?

So, here are all the eggless dessert recipes that currently exist on my blog, with no weird substitutions! From shortbread cookies to candy to no-bake treats, there's something in this list for everyone!
