Hey everyone! 
I’ve been really excited to try making homemade veggie burgers this weekend, but I just realized I’m out of eggs—totally forgot to check my fridge! 
I want to create a delicious and binding mix but didn’t plan on this. Can anyone share some tips or alternative ingredients I can use to replace eggs for binding? I’ve got some flaxseeds and breadcrumbs on hand, but I’m unsure how to incorporate them. Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks a bunch! 
Hey, you can definitely use flaxseeds as an egg replacement! Simply mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water, let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens, and you’re good to go!
No worries! Instead of eggs, you can also use mashed avocado or even a bit of apple sauce for binding. They add great flavor too.
If you have any beans on hand, like black beans or chickpeas, mashing them can also help bind your veggie burgers. Plus, they’ll add extra protein.
You can mix your breadcrumbs with a bit of water or vegetable broth to help the mixture stick together better. It works like a charm.
Have you tried using chia seeds? Similar to flaxseeds, you can use 1 tablespoon of chia seeds mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit to form a gel.
Adding some cooked quinoa can also work as a great binder and gives your burgers a nice texture. Plus, it’s super nutritious.
A bit of silken tofu blended into your mix can help bind all the ingredients together while adding creaminess. Just about ¼ cup should do the trick.
Don’t forget about mashed potatoes! If you have any leftover, they can work wonders in binding your veggie burger mix.
You could try adding some cornmeal as well; it helps with binding and gives a nice texture! Just make sure to adjust any liquid accordingly.
