Baking Without Eggs? Here's What We Know
Whether you're out of eggs, cooking for someone with an egg allergy, or following a vegan diet, you can still enjoy our mixes with a few simple swaps. The substitutions below are buyer-tested ā they work, but they are not manufacturer-approved and results may vary. Expect some differences in texture compared to the original recipe.
š„ Southern Pecan Pancakes & Waffle Mix ā Egg-Free Options
The standard recipe calls for 1 egg. Try one of these substitutes per egg:
- Flax egg: Mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water. Let sit 5 minutes until gel-like. Best overall texture.
- Chia egg: Mix 1 tablespoon chia seeds with 3 tablespoons water. Let sit 5ā10 minutes. Slightly denser pancake.
- Unsweetened applesauce: Use 3 tablespoons per egg. Adds mild sweetness; pancakes may be softer and less fluffy.
- Aquafaba: Use 3 tablespoons of liquid from a can of chickpeas. Light texture, subtle savory note.
Texture caveat: Egg-free pancakes and waffles tend to be slightly less fluffy and may not brown as evenly. Cook on medium-low heat for best results and allow a little extra time.

Tips for Best Results
- Don't overmix ā stir until just combined regardless of which substitute you use.
- For waffles, let the batter rest 2ā3 minutes before pouring to help the substitute bind.
