What is ‘aquafaba’? Aquafaba (bean water) is the liquid from cooked legumes (pinto beans, chickpeas, lentils, etc.). It works great as an egg substitute (3 Tbsp = 1 egg) for many applications. The liquid can be from cooking the raw legumes on your stove or that from a can of beans. With this recipe we used the liquid from a can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans). Its consistency works very well for the 3 Tbsp = 1 egg exchange.
