- Flax Seeds (Flaxseed Meal): Ground flax seeds mixed with water make an excellent binding agent, perfect for gluten-free baked goods.
- Psyllium Husk: These fiber-rich husks help improve the structure and moisture of baked goods.
- Applesauce: Can be used as a natural egg substitute and adds a pleasant sweetness to baked goods.
- Bananas: Ripe bananas are another natural binding agent and are particularly good for sweet baked goods.
