As we gear up to celebrate India’s 79th Independence Day in 2025, what better way to honor the occasion than with delicious, inclusive desserts? Whether you’re vegan, lactose-intolerant, or simply looking for egg-free alternatives, eggless baking offers a world of flavorful possibilities.
From tricolor cakes to patriotic cookies, here are some easy and creative eggless baking recipes that cater to all dietary preferences while keeping the festive spirit alive.
Why Choose Eggless Baking?
Eggless baking isn’t just for those with dietary restrictions—it’s a great way to make desserts lighter, healthier, and more inclusive. With ingredients like yogurt, flaxseeds, bananas, and aquafaba (chickpea water), you can achieve the same fluffy, moist texture without eggs.
Plus, eggless treats often stay fresh longer, making them perfect for Independence Day parties and gatherings.
