Hi, how can I replace eggs in this recipe?
Gina Kleinworth says
I haven’t tried it with this recipe. I’m assuming that you replace eggs in recipes often, and I would imagine it is just like most other recipes you would replace eggs in. 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or plain/vanilla yogurt can be used for each egg that is being replaced.
