Buttermilk Pancakes

Vegan Breakfast Recipes

Written by Mattie Comments

0.0 (0)

These pancakes take advantage of soy milk's ability to curdle when exposed to acids. You can choose lemon juice or even cream of tartar as your acid of choice but I prefer the additional flavor complexity that apple cider vinegar contributes. Buttermilk flavor is also enhanced by adding margarine to the batter which also adds moisture and fluffiness. Top them with maple syrup, berries and/or a dollop of almond butter.

The Vegan Boulangerie Released

Vegan Baking News
Written by Mattie Comments Did someone say French pastry? Details are a little sparse on this recent text, The Vegan Boulangerie: The best of traditional French baking . . . egg and dairy-free by Marianne and Jean-Michel (they go by their first names). What we do know is that the authors are a vegan French couple currently living in Scotland. They must have longed for dairy-free variants of the flavors of home because the book is chock full of stuff like croissants and macarons. The book is divided into six sections: bread, biscuits, basic doughs and pastry, after school snacks, savory recipes and desserts. This may be a great way to acquaint yourself with the world of French pastry without trying to remember what a real croissant tasted like the last time you had one in 1992.

Braided Pesto Bread

Bites From Around The Web
Written by strawberrypepper Comments This bread is one of the best things I've made recently. The lemon basil pesto is braided into a (mostly) whole grain bread for a tasty treat. Perfect for snacking on plain or toasted with some melted vegan cheese. The bread highlights the lemon basil really nicely, but the recipe would also be great with traditional pesto if you can't get your hands on the lemon variety. The following blog link was submitted by Strawberry Pepper.

How to Toast Shredded Coconut

Vegan Baking Articles and Guides
Written by Mattie Comments Many ingredients such as nuts, flour and coconut can take advantage of toasting which usually contributes a noticeably complex nutty flavor. This is because toasting creates a myriad of flavor compounds in what is known as the Maillard reaction. One of the difficulties in baking with coconut is that its subtle flavor sometimes doesn't come through as much as we'd like. Toasting coconut can be a great way to add more complexity and depth of flavor to all sorts of coconut based recipes.

Bites From Around The Web
Written by singerinkitchen Comments Chocolate Almond Coconut Bites uses all products in its natural form therefore, if you think it has a high fat content, it is all natural and in moderation a healthy saturated fat. The original recipe for Almond Joy consists of sweetened condensed milk and sugar but I replaced it with coconut concentrate and agave nectar. It makes for a great snack or even a dessert for those that have a sweet tooth. Enjoy the recipe for all its purest forms. The following blog link was submitted by An Opera Singer in the Kitchen.

Rich White Chocolate Frosting

Vegan Frosting, Icing and Sauce Recipes

Written by Mattie Comments

This creamy white chocolate frosting is a more intensely flavored alternative to other white frostings. It's great for cakes where you may be concerned that a dark chocolate frosting would be too much chocolate (if that's even possible). It uses cocoa butter as the main fat with soy milk powder (not to be confused with soy flour) to help with emulsifying and enhancing creaminess. Cocoa butter can be difficult to work with because when it reaches it's melting temperature range of between 93F (34C) and 100F (38C) it melts instantly. Whisking the frosting periodically as it gradually cools back to room temperature in the refrigerator solves this issue. The stiffness of this frosting can be adjusted by adding or subtracting 1 Tablespoon of water.

Here's a Tip!

Making a yeast leavened bread and getting tired of waiting for it to rise multiple times? By now you could have probably planted grain and watched it grow. Don't even think about cutting corners with yeasted bread recipes. As with most things in life, good breads come to those who wait.
