Ingredients for Eggless Cornbread
This is an egg-free cornbread but not dairy free – I’ve had friends & family with egg allergies for years so I’ve become accustomed to adjusting recipes but keeping the taste on point! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Butter – be sure to use room temperature butter so it combines with the sugar
- Sugar
- Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
- Unsweetened Applesauce
- Milk
- All Purpose Flour
- Yellow Cornmeal
- Baking Powder
- Salt

Egg Substitutes
I decided to use a couple of the typical egg substitutes to get the right texture and moisture for cornbread – but there are a wide variety of subs you can use.
Here’s a great resource if you’re looking for egg substitutes in baking – but off the cuff – here’s a few you can use:
- Unsweetened Applesauce
- Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
- Vinegar & Baking Soda – this is great when you need a leavener
- Silken Tofu
- Ripe Banana
- Egg Replacer – There are a lot of brands out there like this one from Bob’s Red Mill
