Simply Vegan Baking: Taking the Fuss Out of Vegan Cakes, Cookies, Breads, and Desserts

Product Information

With its perfect moist texture and spiced banana flavor, you’d never guess that this banana bread is totally dairy- and egg-free! I like to fold in walnuts for crunch, but stirring in a handful of chocolate chips wouldn’t be a bad move either. Roll and Muffin Vegan Desserts Baking oil free and vegan isn’t hard at all, but it does require specific recipes! Some oil free swap outs for coconut oil include nut butter, unsweetened applesauce, baked and mashed sweet potato, and mashed banana.

Typically, a fluffy cake involves buttermilk, sour cream (occasionally), eggs, butter, and the technique of combining the ingredients. It’s hard to eat just one of these cookie dough bites, but who cares? They’re filled with good-for-you ingredients like flax, almond butter, and oats. In summary, a wonderful recipe book, ideal for vegans who don't want to miss out on delicious bakes, or those who wish to bake for vegan friends and family.

Cane sugar + Powdered sugar (GF): NOTE: not all cane sugar is vegan in the U.S.! I recommend using Florida Crystals!

PB Apple Sandwiches: To make these little treats, slice an apple into rounds then spread your favorite nut butter in between two slices. Add some chocolate chips for a real treat.

One of my all-time favorite vegan desserts! A sprinkle of flaky sea salt makes the nutty, chocolaty flavors in these no-bake cookie bars pop. This often happens if you don’t allow the mixture to completely coagulate. Unfortunately, we can’t just throw flaxseed and water together, and call it a day!

If you ask me, fruit crisps are the best vegan dessert recipes. They’re easy to toss together, and there’s nothing more delicious than nutty crumble topping over soft, juicy fruit. This spiced apple crisp is one of my favorites. It tastes wonderful, and it’ll make your kitchen smell amazing too!

I’m a self-confessed Great British Bake-Off fan and also have a vegan in the household - so I was thrilled to receive an ARC of Simply Vegan Bakery by Freya Cox. Serve this ultra-refreshing sorbet as soft serve straight from the blender, or freeze it for a few hours for a firmer texture. It’ll be lightly creamy, tart/sweet, and downright delicious either way. Bakewell Tart, Fondant Fancies, Tiramisu, and more - all suitable for sweet-toothed vegans! I liked the premise of this book, which has recipes for plant-based versions of favourite bakes and desserts with no weird ingredients and no pretence of being healthy. There is a definite Yorkshire flavour to the content. Freya Cox was on The Great British Bake-Off, a show I have never watched, but I really got a sense of her personality in this book. There are a lot of lovely photographs too. I wouldn’t just swap in coconut oil for butter in any recipe, unless this recipe has been verified tested by the recipe developer to confirm that it works.

You only need 6 ingredients to make these crispy, toasty, lightly sweet treats. What are you waiting for?! Almond milk or other non-dairy milk. The non-dairy milk we use most often in baking recipe is almond milk, but often oat milk, cashew milk or coconut milk work. From The Great British Baking Show contestant Freya Cox, an inviting introduction to vegan baking, filled with dozens of showstopping recipes for scrumptious treats.I’ve been Vegan for 8 years now and I’ve dipped my toe in and out of vegan baking for many years, trying all manner of different recipes from all sorts of different sources. But here enters this gem of a book! With all your sweet treats, baking and cake making needs wrapped up in this one epic book! Flour is vegan! You can use all purpose flour, cake flour, cassava flour, oat flour, almond flour, coconut flour, gluten free baking 1-to-1 flour, etc.; rest assured, your vegan dessert recipes are considered vegan if they use flour.
