Weirdly enough a mashed banana can be an egg substitute for the right recipe.

My Wife has celiac, so no gluten for her. So when looking for gluten free recipes, we often come across full on vegan recipes with substitutes. A mashed banana for eggs is one of them.

It might work where the egg is not meant to set, where it's basically a binder. But if it is meant to set or firm up then best to use something else. As an aside, my two kids are celiac and there is some really weird substitutes for wheat flour in some products. Anyone who thinks gluten free is somehow healthier should read the ingredients labels.
