Egg substitutes

Arrowroot

Arrowroot itself belongs in the list of vegan hacks. It is a natural vegan binding agent. The great thing about this particular product is that it is odorless and has a neutral taste. It is a great substitute for egg in some cakes and baked goods that do not need to rise.

Overnight oats and chia pudding
