...would go good with this recipe.
"3 small eggs (2 large eggs)
1 2/3 cup flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 tbsp maccha powder (green tea powder)
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsps chocolate chips
PREPARATION:
Put butter in a bowl and stir well until soften. Add sugar in the bowl and mix well. Whisk eggs in another bowl. Mix eggs and butter mixture together. Sift flour, baking powder, and green tea powder together. Add flour in the egg and butter mixture and mix. Add chocolate chips in the bowl and mix together. Spread some butter and place baking wax paper inside of a medium loaf pan. Pour batter into the pan. Bake in preheated 325F oven for 30-40 minutes.
Makes 4 servings"
-from japanesefood.about.com
Pretty simple and straight forward, obviously I'd use Earth balance for the butter but I'm not sure about the eggs. I had it down to either flax, tofu, or Ener-G.
I think flax might help but then I'd have to strain it, to get rid of the outer layer of the seeds, and probably add some baking powder (perhaps) and a bit of extra liquid.
I would also maybe use Ener-G, but I'm not sure what I'd use as the binder, and I don't know if the leavening/rising power of only 1 tsp of baking powder would cut it in this recipe.
And then there is tofu, haven't had much experience with it outside of your no-fat tender banana bread (which was really good by the way).
For any of the more experienced bakers on here I present this as a challenge to you, perhaps you all can deconstruct the usefulness of the eggs to this recipe and possibly suggest a good vegan subsitute.
As always, thanks for taking the time to look and help.

In quick breads i generally use soymilk instwead of egg-- about 1/4 cup soymuilk per egg. You could beat in 1 T. of egg replacer, too, if you like.

1 1/2 T. (1/2 T.) per quarter cup, in this case.
