By   Milcah    Tanimu

Have you ever wondered if you can bake without eggs? While eggs are often considered essential for baking, you may be surprised to discover that there are many tasty, egg-free alternatives. These options can create cakes and cookies that are just as fluffy, moist, and delicious as the traditional versions. Whether you’re avoiding eggs due to dietary restrictions, allergies, or simply a desire to try something new, here are three eggless recipes that will surely satisfy your sweet tooth.

1) Eggless Chocolate Cake
Chocolate cake is a classic treat, and an eggless version can be just as moist and flavorful. By using yoghurt and vegetable oil, you can easily achieve the perfect spongy texture, making this cake a great dessert for gatherings or simply to enjoy at home.

**Ingredients:**
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup plain yoghurt (or soy yoghurt for a dairy-free option)
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup warm water

**Instructions:**
1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
2. Next, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
3. After that, add the yoghurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, mixing until everything is well combined.
4. Gradually, pour in the warm water, stirring the batter until smooth and lump-free.
5. Afterward, transfer the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Once done, let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If you want to add a twist, sprinkle some coconut flakes on top before baking to give it an extra layer of flavor.

2) Eggless Oatmeal and Banana Cookies
If you’re looking for a wholesome, healthier option, these eggless oatmeal and banana cookies are perfect. Bananas not only add natural sweetness but also make these cookies a great alternative to processed snacks. Furthermore, oats provide fiber, which makes them ideal for a nutritious breakfast or a light afternoon snack.

**Ingredients:**
– 2 ripe bananas, mashed
– 1 cup rolled oats
– ½ cup dark chocolate chips or raisins
– 1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder

Instructions:
1. To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Then, in a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, oats, chocolate chips, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until everything is evenly mixed.
3. After mixing, scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the baking sheet, flattening each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
4. Next, bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
5. Finally, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These cookies store well and can easily be packed for work or school as a nutritious snack.

3) Vanilla Cupcakes with Coconut Milk
For a soft, fluffy, and dairy-free treat, you can try these eggless vanilla cupcakes. Coconut milk not only gives the cupcakes a delicate flavor but also helps keep them moist. These cupcakes are perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or even as a sweet treat for yourself.

**Ingredients:**
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– ¾ cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup coconut milk
– ¼ cup vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon vinegar (apple cider or white)

**Instructions:**
1. First, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
2. Next, in a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the coconut milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and vinegar until well combined.
4. Then, gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
5. Afterward, divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Finally, let the cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For an added touch, top the cupcakes with desiccated coconut, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
