Red Velvet Pancakes

by Veganlov, posted in Allgemein, Breakfast, Recipes

Vibrant colored food seems to be a huge trend for some time. Red velvet cake is actually not that new but still fascinating. And the good thing about it is that you don´t even need any food coloring. Rootbeet is the secret ingredient to get the red color. And you don´t have to be afraid that it would taste like rootbeet because it doesn’t.

If you´re still skeptical just give it a try:

 

Ingredients:

150g All purpose flour

25g Rootbeet powder

50g Sugar

50g Oil (I recommend coconut oil because of the taste.)

1 Ripe smashed banana

150ml Soymilk

1tsp Vanilla

1tsp Apple vinegar

2 tsp Baking soda

+Topping of your choice

Instructions:

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients.
  2. Add all the liquids and the smashed banana.
  3. Preheat a pan with on medium heat and grease it with some oil.
  4. Using 3 spoons each, cook the pancakes till bubbles appear on surface, turn and cook further until cooked through
  5. Topp them of with the topping of your choice ( I used soy yogurt, different kinds of fruit and some icing sugar.).

Summer Buns

by Veganlov, posted in Baking, Dessert, Recipes

Cinnamon Buns always feel like coming home, don’t they? I don´t know why, but I always associate Cinnamon Buns with baking in my nana´s kitchen when it´s cold outside, which is kinda funny because we never did that… But I guess I´m not the only one who pictures a situation like this when it comes to Cinnamon Buns.

But as I just said, I always think about cold days when I think about these litte scandinavian baked goods. So I wanted to create a more summer like version. And well, here we go.

Ingredients:

Berries

Icing sugar

Lemon juice

Nuts

Dough:

310g Spelt flour

160g Whole grain spelt flour

60g Brown sugar

1/4 tsp Salt

155g Soymilk

80g Margarine

20g Yeast

150g Apple puree

Filling:

100g Margarine

230g Brown sugar

3tsp Cinnamon

4tsp Vanilla

 

Instructions:

  1. Put the flour, sugar and salt into a big bowl and mix them.
  2. Put the soy milk, margarine and apple puree in a pan and slightly warm it up (Stir constantly). Try to reach body temperature, add the yeast and don’t stop to stir. Attention: When the temperature is over 40°C, the yeast bacteria will die and the buns won´t rise, so in this case, let it cool down before you add the yeast.
  3. Knead the flour mixture and the soy milk mixture together (knead 3 minutes).
  4. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rest in the sun (or any other warm place) for about an hour.
  5. Continuing with the filling, melt the margarine and mix it with the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.
  6. Preheat the oven (180°C)
  7. Cover your worktop with flour and roll the dough into a square shape.
  8. Brush the dough with the filling (you can also fill it with some berries if you want to).
  9. Roll the dough up into a long starting at the long side. Then cut into 12 slices. Place the rolls cut side down on a with a baking sheet covered baking tray.
  10. Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden.
  11. Mix about 1/2 cup icing sugar with a little bit lemon juice and pour it over the buns (it works best if you let them cool down first).
  12. Top the buns off with some berries and nuts.

Vegan Strawberry Tiramisu

by Veganlov, posted in Baking, Dessert, Recipes

Ok to be honest- there are a few recipes that are harder to imitate plant based than Tiramisu. In some case you might have to stop trying to recreate the exact same taste. But that doesn’t mean it should taste worse or completely different.

I´ve already tried different vegan Tiramisu recipes and I never really liked them… They were just not creamy enough…. I nearly gave up on vegan Tiramisu, until I had no cashews at home and replaced them with cashew butter… lots of cashew butter…. and well, I guess this was one of the best experiments I did so far….

Let yourself surprise by the incredible full and creamy taste of this vegan tiramisu!

 

Ingredients:

Strawberries

1 Cup of coffee

Cocoa

Dough:

200g Flour

100g Brown Sugar

2tsp Baking soda

55g Oil

190g Sparkling Water

Cream:

380g Vegan curd

420g Cashew butter

40g Maple Syrup

1tsp Vanilla extract

13g Lemon juice

 

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your Oven (160°C circulating air).
  2. Mix all the ingredients of the dough.
  3. Cover a flat baking tin with baking paper and fill in the dough.
  4. Put the Biscuit into the oven till you can prick in it with a wooden pick without dough sticking onto it.
  5. While the Biscuit cools down, you can go on with the cream, which is very easy:  You just have to combine all the ingredients and stir till it´s a super creamy mass. If you like it more or less sweet, feel free to add more or less Maple Syrup.
  6. For the last step, quickly soak the biscuit in the coffee, layer it with strawberries and the cream and sprinkle it with cocoa.

Vanilla Summer Oatmeal

by Veganlov, posted in Breakfast, Recipes

Oatmeal is my favourite food for breakfast at cold days. But to be honest, you can also enjoy Oatmeal at spring and summer mornings. Especially when you combine fresh fruit with the yummy porridge… Ok, I have to admit that this recipe is pretty basic but sometimes it doesn’t have to be super fancy to be super yummy. You can also add a little bit more liquid and set it into the refrigerator over night to enjoy it cold the day after.

470g Plantmilk (I used Cashewmilk)

1,5tsp Extractive vanilla

  1. Bring the Oats and the Plantmilk to a boil. Once it boils, reduce the heat and let it soak at low heat for some minutes.
  2. While soaking, prepare your topping (Fruits) and stir from time to time.
  3. Add the maple syrup, fill it into a bowl and add the toppings of your choice.
