Pectic is the vegan gelatin you're referring to. Usually vegans can find that in packets like gelatin from the store, although another source is from chia or flax seeds.

You soak the seeds in water for probably 1-2 hours, and the liquid as a result contains the pectin from the seeds.

Pectin like this and bananas (or often apple sauce) likely emulate eggs the best. You get the binding power from the seeds, and the wetness from the bananas/apple sauce
