As a binder in vegan loafs and cookies, I use ground flaxseed The binding effect of egg in baking can be substituted by using ground flaxseed. Ground flaxseed can be found at most supermarkets. Ask you grocer to stock it. Here's a picture of ground flaxseed from WholeFoods. You can also find it at many pharmacies and at Walmart. It's sold in the vitamin department. Ask for ground flaxseeds. Flaxseed is often sold organic and that is about 3 times more expensive than non-organic. I use non-organic 1 egg = 1 tb ground flaxseed with 3 tb warm water.
