If it is only egg yolk, that you are allergic to, feel free to use Low Fat Helmanns Mayo, which only contains egg whites. While it does not taste half as good as regular mayo, it is safe for those who can't eat egg yolks.

Mayo is not a substitution for eggs if you are allergic or vegan or simply wanting to avoid eggs altogether.
Mayo IS egg; its egg and oil, thats why you can use it as a substitute, but not if youre allergic. But, I guess if you are allergic, you would know that :)

For baking you can also use 1/2 a mashed up banana, it gives a yummy banana flavor too, really good with brownies.

What is a substitution for eggs in recipes?

Substitute for Eggs in Baking
Post by Thrifty_Fun
A great substitute for eggs in baking is 1 Tbsp. soy flour to 1 Tbsp. water. It is a lot cheaper per unit. The bag of soy flour was $3 and I get 105 "eggs" out of it which come to .02 cents. Eggs (.99 where I live) are 8 cents each.

In response to the reader who suggested mayo in place of eggs: Please, please, please remember that most commercial mayos contain eggs! I have a friend who is severely allergic to eggs. If he were ever given something to eat he was told was free of eggs, yet contain mayo, he would quickly be on his way to the emergency room. Always check labels when allergies are involved! Check out http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Ency/Index.cfm/Id/1065007 for more information on egg allergies and substitutions.

For egg allergy sufferers

I have a 1 year old that is severely allergic to whole eggs. I was having trouble finding a birthday cake until I tried to bake my own without eggs, it crumbled a little more but it turned out fine. I used Duncan Hines Yellow Cake mix. I hope this helps someone with the same dilemma.

My middle daughter has a co-worker who is vegan. She's sort of made it her mission to include him in activities at work so that he can eat too. Most of their co-workers think vegan food is weird when it's what WE eat, just without meat and dairy. These are some wonderful egg substitutes, not just for vegans. I've used the first one many times with equal success.
1 whole egg = 2 tbsp water + 1 tbsp oil + 2 tsp baking powder
1 egg = 1 tbsp ground flax seed simmered in 3 tbsp water
1 egg = 2 tbsp water + 2 tsp baking powder
2 oz of soft tofu can be blended with some water and substituted for an egg to add consistency. Or try the same quantity of: mashed beans, mashed potatoes, or nut butters.
1/2 mashed banana
1/4 cup applesauce or pureed fruit

There is a great product here in Canada called "Celimix".It is an egg replacer for baking only and is gluten & wheat free. I use it all the time successfully. Comes in a 500 gram yellow box...not sure of availability in U.S.A. but the toll free number is: 1-866-989-0379.(Winnipeg, Manitoba)

I have read that you may substitute a 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise for each egg.

If you just need to eliminate the egg yolk due to cholesterol but can eat the white, the formula is two egg whites= 1 egg. And by the way, Egg beaters are egg whites.

Replacing Eggs
Post by Thrifty_Fun
To replace an egg or two in a recipe for health or just cost effective reasons use 1 Tbsp. soy flour and 1 Tbsp. water for each egg deleted. No difference in final produce except lower fat content and cost.
