Extra vegetable oil may make an egg unnecessary. I will never know.

Yes, eggs and sugar would be nice. But if you want to use it as a
neutral bread replacement, isn't it better to leave them out? There's
no sugar or eggs in our bread either.

There's gluten in bread, though.

 Yes, it won't be the same.
 

Eggs in quick breads like cornbread help it hold together.

 My wife didn't want eggs in the corn bread, because it makes it
"cakey".
 

No. It makes it not as crumbly. Without egg is fine if you don't mind the bread being a little crumbly. The main thing is oil and super hot skillet.
