Black&White cookies
Merry Christmas! Christmas is the time for cookies, right ? Then you might want to try these. I love chocolate and I love vanilla, and love it absolutely more when they mix together. Ingredients 0.5 cup of all purpose flour // 0.5 cup of oat flour (if you don’t have it, just process regular oats in a blender or food processor until you get flour) // 0.5 tsp of baking powder // 1 tbsp of sugar // 2 tsp of cacao powder // 0.5 tsp of maple syrup // 1.5 tbsp of vegan butter // some soy milk (~1/4- 1/3 cup) (preferably unsweetened) For the icing chocolate: 3 tsp of…
Vegan Cornmeal Cake
When I was a small kid, I used to ate from time to time a very delicious cake my parents would buy from the bakery. I never knew its ingredients, so more than a decade later, all my attempts to find the recipe were unauccessful. My parents were equally helpless. I organized a late Thanksgiving lunch with some friends a week ago, and I obviously made cornmeal muffins. The first bite was special – I had finally found what I was looking for! The cake I used to eat as a kid had cornmeal in it. I tried different recipes using cornmeal over the last week, but this gotta be…
Vegan cornmeal pancakes
I love pancakes. Who doesn’t like nice fluffy american pancakes, dripped with maple syrup ? I am also always up for a twist. I had cornmeal left from Thanksgiving, so I gave these cornmeal pancakes a try 🙂 They’re also vegan, making them suitable for people with lactose intolerance or egg allergy. There you go: Ingredients 1 cup of soy milk // 0.5 cup of flour // 0.5 cup of cornmeal // 1 tsp of baking powder // 2tsp of sugar // 1.5 tsp of margarine Chocolate Sauce 1 tsp of cocoa powder // 1 tsp of icing sugar // 2tsp of water
Easy peasy sweet potato mash
Yesterday, I organized a late Thanksgiving lunch with some friends. I was not only happy because I managed to cook a whole 12 pounds turkey by myself, but also because there was no sweet potato mash left at the end. I’m just a big potato lover. Nothing beats my mom’s potato puree, or some good fries from McDonald’s (I don’t care what they say, still my favorite!). So, there you go 🙂 Ingredients 3 large sweet potatoes // 3 tbsp of margarine // 3/4 cup of plant-based milk // 1 tsp of cinnamon // a handful of sunflower seeds Instructions Wash, peel and boil or steam the potatoes until soft…
Cocoa Oat Cookies
Sometimes, all you need is a cookie with some milk. Amiright ? So, the other day, while I wad procrastibaking as usual, I decided to make some cookies. And they ended up good! So, here is the recipe! Ingredients 1 cup of oats //2 tsp of cocoa powder // 1 egg // 2 tbsp of sugar // 2 tbsp of chia seeds and 6 tbsp of water // A few tbsp of plant based milk to make a consistent mix (it shouldn’t be liquidy) Instructions Preheat the oven (365F or 180C). Mix all the ingredients. Grease a pan and bake the cookies for about 25min. They should be just a…
Spiced cake
I love it when I try a recipe for the first time and it works. Like super well. Well, I was procrastibaking the other day and decided baking a cake but with spices would be appropriate. Finished it yesterday. I wish I could lick the screen. Looking gorgeous. Here’s the recipe! Ingredients (serves 10) 3/4 cup of white flour // 3/4 tsp of baking powder // 1/4 cup of sugar // 1 tsp of honey // 1.5 tsp f all spices // 1/3 cup of raisins // 2 egg whites // 1/4 cup of spiced tea (Got mine from David’s Tea) Instructions Preheat the oven (180 C or 375 F)…
Dill Sandwhich Spread
Last Saturday, I went to Montreal’s Vegan Festival and had an amaaazing vegan hot-(non)dog. Juicy, big, thick, with lots of sauce. That was clearly the highlight of my week 🙂 Anyways, was walking down the supermarket aisles the other day when I noticed they had hot dog bread. By chance, the vegan section was not far, so I obviously had to take some sausages. Back home, I then created a yummy vegan hot dog, with dill sauce. It’s super easy to make and, to be honest, I didn’t really measure the quantities. You can put this spread on any sandwhich, of mix it with any kind of veggies or meat. Gorgeous.…
Classic Fluffy Bagels
Ah Bagels. God’s gift to man. One of the best inventions of all times. Now I used to live in the UK, where bagels with salmon and cream cheese are an institution (and I do miss them a lot). Montreal bagels are also delicious, albeit different. Basically, british bagels are fluffier and Montreal bagels are “harder” and poached in honey water, to give them a sweet flavor. I wanted to try and make my own bagels the other day, and after having looked at various recipes online, I came with my own recipe, light and vegan 🙂 Talking with different people, I always get ‘baking is hard’ – it isn’t,…
Chocolate cupcakes topped with peanut butter
I’m a big fan of chocolate. And peanut butter, even though I have to eat it with caution and in moderation to avoid allergic outbursts (I am allergic to nuts in general). Well, the other day I decided to mix both of them together 🙂 What is good is that there is no butter or oil at all. Also, I only put an egg white instead of a whole egg. The recipe serves 6. Ingredients 3/4 cup of flour – 1 tsp of baking powder – 40g of sugar – 1 tsp of honey – 1 tbsp of cocoa powder – 1 tsp of coffee powder – 1/3 cup of…
Breakfast Tortilla
I swear, I didn’t do it on purpose. Actually, I just realized even the green and red colors remind me of Mexico. It’s Sunday, so hell yeah, I wanted a fancy brekkie. This tortilla IS fancy and vegan friendly, so there you go for the “recipe” (which is not really one). Ingredients : 1 medium tortilla // 1/3 cup of cubbed and already cooked tofu // 1/4 cup of sliced button mushrooms // 1/4 cup of baby tomatoes // a handful of arragula // some sliced olives to put on top // margarine or butter to grease the pan // soy sauce // (optional) pepper and salt to taste //…
