Eggs play a big role in baking, helping to bind dough, add moisture, and create fluffy textures. But with recent shortages and rising prices, you might be looking for ways to bake without them. The good news? You don’t need eggs to enjoy delicious desserts! Whether you’re in the mood for cookies, pie, or even cheesecake, these egg-free recipes have you covered.
