Take a look at these quick, healthy substitutes. Print it off and keep it in your pantry – you’ll be vegan, healthy and LOVING IT in no time!
Does chia really work as substitute for eggs? I am trying it!
Hi Silvia! Yes, it really works… just combine 1 tbsp chia seeds and 3 tbsp water, let it set for about 5 minutes and it forms that same eggy consistency. I was amazed the first time I tried it.. now it is a “must-have” in my pantry!
Do u cook the beans or grind them dry?
Hi Jayme-
If substituting black beans for flour, use cooked black beans that have been pureed. I’ve changed the chart to reflect that now. Thanks!
Hi..does the butter is replaced with 1cup of avocado AND 1 cup of banana? Or there are two different alternatives?
Thanks!
Hi Patty!
The banana and avocado are two different alternatives to butter. Replace one cup of butter with one cup of mashed avocado OR one cup of mashed bananas.
