The powdered vegan substitution for eggs is The Neat Egg. It's used in recipes where egg is a binder (such as this one). Ingredients are chia seeds and garbanzo beans. The Neat Egg is also non-GMO and gluten-free. Although instructions specify mixing water in a ratio of 2 to 1 to the powder beforehand, I've specified adding the powder to the recipe's dry ingredients and simply increased the almond milk instead. This results in easier mixing in the batter.
