How to Replace Eggs with Carbonated Water in Baking - Got a baking recipe that calls for eggs? No problem! Replace the eggs with carbonated water using this super easy vegan baking hack! via @thiswifecooks

How to Replace Eggs with Carbonated Water in Baking ~

Got a recipe that calls for eggs?

No problem! I’ve got you covered! 

It’s super easy to replace eggs with carbonated water.

Are carbonated water, sparkling water, and seltzer water all the same thing?

Yes, they are the same thing.

The descriptions, carbonated, sparking, and seltzer can be used interchangeably.

 

Does carbonated water work as well as other egg substitutes?

Yes!

Here’s why I love it:

Carbonated water doesn’t affect the flavor or texture of baked goods the way some alternatives to eggs can, including bananas, avocados, tofu, chia seeds, flaxseed, vegan sour cream, vegan yogurt, and various other commercial products.

Will this work with ANY baking recipe?

Not necessarily. It’s best to stick with cakes, cupcakes, brownies, quick breads – things that are meant to be light in texture.

 

How much carbonated water equals one egg?

1/4 cup carbonated water = the equivalent of one egg

 

Is there a limit to how many eggs I can replace with carbonated water?

Probably but I haven’t hit the max number yet. 

So far, I have successfully swapped carbonated water for up to 3 eggs. 

If you decide to try replacing more than three eggs, I would love to hear your results!

 

Do I need to adjust the baking time?

No, the baking time remains the same as directed in your recipe.

 

Real-life example:

My daughter wanted to bake a cake from a mix.

This cake mix called for three eggs.

Since we don’t cook with eggs but still wanted a super quick chocolate cake, here’s what we did:

Not a sponsored post – these are just the products I happened to use for this cake.

 

Instead of eggs, we used a total of 3/4 cup plain carbonated water then followed the rest of the recipe, adding additional non-carbonated water and oil as directed on the box.

The result was a light and fluffy chocolate cake with all the taste and texture you would expect from a cake made with eggs.

A quick recap of the math:

1/4 cup water = 1 egg

1/2 cup carbonated water = 2 eggs

3/4 cup carbonated water = 3 eggs

    Hi Holly, just letting you know, I made a gluten free, egg ftee carrot bundt cake & replaced 4 eggs. Cakw turned out quite well. Texture a bit lighter than normal carrot cake. I then made it with 4 eggs (my husbands birthday & he doesnt like special diet food but daughter has allergies). Soda water cake was darker in colour.

      Hi Donna! Thank you so much! Interesting that the carbonated water cake came out darker. 3 is the most I’ve tried so far so I’m glad to know it works for 4 eggs. 🙂
