13 Baking Recipes that Only Need One Egg

10 Baking Recipes that only need one egg- whenever you get that baking urge, or you need something sweet, and one egg is all you have, these recipes are just what you need!


I can't tell you how often I get the urge to bake something, go to find the ingredients and discover that I only have one egg. I then usually do a bit of searching online, get frustrated that I can't find anything and end up not baking at all. But now that I have this amazing list of one egg recipes, I can bake away to my heart's content with my one egg!

Why do we need eggs in baking?

Eggs are so important in baking- essentially they give the bake good structure and add moisture. Eve more importantly, the yolk of the egg helps bind ingredients together stop them from separating or splitting.

Can you replace eggs in baking?

Yes you can, many people with egg allergies or who are following a vegan diet, do this all the time. If you're doing it because you've just run out of eggs, be aware that the flavour of the baked goods you're making will be affected. A couple of examples that you can replace egg with:
  • half a mashed banana per egg
  • 4 tbsp buttermilk per egg
Now if you've still got that one egg and you want to get baking, try out the recipes below!

Chocolate Banana Caramel Cupcakes- indulgent chocolate banana cupcakes with a caramel centre and chocolate icing.

I decorated my cupcakes with mini smarties for a party feel, but you could use sprinkles, chopped nuts, white chocolate chips or anything else that takes your fancy. The fudgy topping is so rich and delicious that I would advise limiting how much you use on each cupcake to avoid overwhelming the cake, especially if you are adding other toppings as well. For young children, you might want to leave the topp...

Vegan Chickpea Burgers- a vegan chickpea burger recipe with plenty of spices, perfect for a summer dinner. If you had told me a few months ago that I would be making chickpea burgers and putting them on the blog, I would have laughed! But here I am, sharing an easy recipe for chickpea burgers with you now. In my effort to eat one vegetarian meal a week (Meat-Free Monday) I have been looking at ideas for protein-packed, filling meals. Chickpea burgers fit that bill perfectly. We weren't entirely sure whether we would love them, but they were absolutely delicious and we were definitely full afterwards. Once again, my Meat F ree Monday recipe is not just vegetarian, it's accidentally vegan too! The key thing to get right with chickpea burgers, is flavour. Don't get me wrong, I love chickpeas. I'd happily drown myself in a vat of houmous any day, but where they really work is when they are complemented by the right flavours. For these Vegan Chickpea Burgers, I use a combina...
