Find the recipe below and impress the ones you love this Valentine's Day with your vegan baking skills 👏🏼

 

Recipe (makes 2 dozen small cookies)

 

Ingredients

 

Method

  1. In one bowl, mix together flour, corn starch, baking powder in salt and sit aside
  2. Beat together the sugar and butter in another bowl until smooth - I used an electric hand whisk for 2 minutes
  3. Add milk and vanilla extract to the butter/sugar and beat for a further minute
  4. Gradually add your dry ingredients into the wet mix, beating together slowly. You want your cookie dough to be soft but not sticky to allow for easy rolling.
  5. Sprinkle flour onto baking paper and roll your dough out, leave it in the fridge for at least 2 hours to cool.
  6. Remove dough from fridge, cut into desired shapes and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  7. Cook at 180°c for approx 12-15 minutes or until golden. (time could vary so keep an eye on your cookies)
  8. Leave to cool and decorate as desired.

 

Enjoy 🤍

Frequently asked questions about becoming Vegan

Q: Are vegan recipes healthy?
A: Absolutely! Vegan recipes are centered around plant-based ingredients, which are packed with essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. By following a balanced vegan diet, you can enjoy a wide variety of delicious and nutritious meals.

Q: Can I get enough protein on a vegan diet?
A: Yes, you can! Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of plant-based sources of protein, such as beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, seitan, quinoa, and more. Incorporating a variety of these protein-rich foods into your vegan recipes will help you meet your protein needs.

Q: What about calcium and iron?
A: Vegan diets can provide ample amounts of calcium and iron. Foods like leafy greens, almonds, tahini, fortified plant-based milk, tofu, and lentils are great sources of these essential minerals. Pairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C sources, like citrus fruits or bell peppers, can enhance iron absorption.

Q: Are vegan recipes expensive?
A: Not necessarily! While some specialty vegan products may be pricier, a well-planned vegan diet can be quite affordable. Staples like grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables are often budget-friendly, especially when purchased in season or in bulk.

Q: How can I replace dairy products in vegan recipes?
A: There are numerous plant-based alternatives available for dairy products. For milk, you can use soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Replace butter with plant-based margarine or coconut oil, and try using cashews or silken tofu for creamy textures in recipes.

Q: Can I still enjoy desserts on a vegan diet?
A: Absolutely! Vegan desserts can be just as indulgent and delicious as traditional ones. You can use substitutes like coconut milk, almond milk, or cashew cream in place of dairy cream, and flax eggs or aquafaba as egg replacers. Get creative with ingredients like dates, bananas, cocoa, and nuts to whip up scrumptious vegan treats.
