People give the label vegan a bad rap. Some of the best things we've ever eaten for dessert are vegan! If you don't believe us, check these recipes out.
Vegan Mint Chocolate Squares
My husband, he says that these squares are the BEST DESSERT I HAVE EVER MADE, and he even held to that opinion when I told him they are vegan, so that's saying a lot.
Bunner's Gluten-Free, Vegan Cinnamon Buns
I was given permission to share the award-winning Bunner's Bake Shop Cinnamon Bun recipe with you—and OMG, it's such a good one to share because the taste is so, so similar to a wheat flour cinnamon bun. Here is the recipe straight from the book.
No Bake Vegan Coconut Fudge
Fudge is still fudge, and this is a rich treat. Still, it's a no-bake, vegan, gluten-free treat; delicious morsels of coconutty goodness with a chocolatey kick. It's so easy to make, and takes so little time to put together. You don't even need to turn on your oven or stove, so bring it on, summer.
If you read my blog regularly, you know that coconut is one of my favourite ingredients, so when I found a blueberry muffin recipe that contained coconut, I was all over it. I made a few changes to the original recipe and came up with these delicious gems. They don't last long when I make them, and I'm pretty sure it will be the same when you make them.
Low Sugar Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins
As my kids talked about how much they liked them, I dropped the bomb on them: guess what, they're vegan! My younger son sighed and said, "Why did you tell us? You ruined it for me!" Then he proceeded to finish off the batch.
Awesome Chocolate Crazy Cake
It's naturally free of 7 out of 8 of the most common food allergens. Having no eggs, butter, or milk also makes it vegan! Because you're not dealing with a risk of salmonella, and there's no electric mixer, this recipe is friendly for kids to make, and everyone can lick the raw batter. Yup, lick it right out of the bowl, guilt free. It's traditionally mixed with a fork in its own baking pan and served right out of there, too—making it minimal equipment and easy clean-up.
Vegan Chocolate Banana "Ice Cream"
It’s easy, it’s inexpensive, and it doesn’t require an ice cream maker. There is no added sugar, there are only three ingredients involved, and there are less than 80 calories per serving. Do I need any more selling points? I don’t think so!
Vegan Chocolate Crazycake Cupcakes You'll Go Crazy For
We're not allowed to buy chocolate sheet cakes anymore--they're too sweet. I'm serious. Everyone goes crazy for this decadent, rich chocolate crazycake, proving that there was actually more to the name than simply that someone was crazy for making an amazing cake that shockingly required no eggs or milk.
Vegan, gluten-free and packed with protein, fibre and potassium, they’re not only nutritious, they’re also a great nut-free goodie to tuck into a lunchbox. What better way to say ‘I love you’ (including to yourself) than with a healthy, homemade treat that tastes decadent but is actually good for you?
