According to a non-profit organization, you can easily find egg alternatives in your kitchen.

Recent data reveals that egg prices are currently at their highest due to the bird flu, a trend that may continue for some time. To counteract the impact of these high prices on your grocery bill, it is beneficial to explore alternative options to eggs for your baking and cooking needs.

Sonia Flunder-McNair, the founder and president of Urban Wholistics, a non-profit organization, suggests numerous ways to eliminate eggs from your shopping list while still being able to enjoy familiar meals. She mentions popular egg replacements such as chia seeds, flax seeds, peanut butter, applesauce, and bananas.

“We have the option of coconut milk,” Flunder-McNair said.” It gives you the option to use in baking your sweets, your cookies your cakes.”

She added that while it’s a helpful vegan options, there are other more dairy-based options like plain Greek yogurt that shouldn’t change the consistency or taste of your dish so it could be used in various cooking dishes. 

Flunder-McNair said changing from egg to fewer or no eggs in your cooking is easier than you think, because you don’t have to go out and start spending more money. She said it’s all about research. 

“A substitute may be in your refrigerator,” Flunder-McNair said.

Urban Wholistics is a community-based initiative created to beautify open land in neighborhoods, while growing fresh foods and giving access area residents who have been historically excluded from access to holistic options and green spaces. 

As founder of the nonprofit, she created a free cookbook for everyone to have access to substitutions. Click here to access it.
