My new favorite Grilled avocado, tomato, and basil sandwich: 7 Grain bread, tomato, avocado, fresh basil, and a bit of thyme, garlic, and pepper, with a drizzling of olive oil.
Pancake recipe from the Repressed Pastry Chef. You can substitue soy milk for buttermilk (even substituting regular milk tastes fine in place of buttermilk), maple syrup instead of sugar, and bananas (1 mashed to one egg).
Instead of buying Oreos (vegan!) I decided to be adventurous and make this homemade Thin Mint recipe from the blog Baking Bites. Unfortunately you can't substitute with maple syrup for this one, you'll have to stick to granulated sugar, but you can still substitute the eggs with bananas, the butter with margarine, the milk with soy, and as long as the chocolate is 60% or above, it should be vegan friendly. If the consistency is too thin because of the margarine substitution, add more cornstarch to thicken the batter without changing the flavor. Good luck and happy baking!

| Ps. Most of these recipes call for white flour and since it is not strictly anti- vegan, I am going to use up the massive amount I have left before trying more pro-vegan alternatives. If you are looking to try an alternative however, I have been recommended whole wheat pastry flour in a smaller quantity than white flour. |
Vegan thin mints? Oh man. I HAVE to try these. Putting it on my "to cook" list. You got me hooked on fat-free refried beans and avocado quesadillas. I've had one a day for the past four days! Yum.
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help! Be careful with the thin mint recipe. I tried vegan substitutes for the sugar and flour and I would not suggest it for this one, but the butter can be substituted so it's still vegan. When I made them, they tasted great but more like dark chocolate truffles than thin mints. Let me know how yours turn out, if you like them, and what you did differently! I would love a suggestion as I don't want to retire this recipe without a fight ; )
