Veggie Wedgie. Experiments at Carnegie Mellon University. Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle Cookies. These are super rich and chocolatey, exist somewhere in between a cookie and a truffle, and are loaded with peanut butter. Yes, they taste as awesome as they sound. If you are feeling a little lazy (or are just out of chocolate chips) the cookies are fantastic if you skip the dipping step. Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle Cookies Ingredients: 2 cups of Peanut Butter (use the real stuff ["natural"], not Jiff or Skippy etc. The oil in the peanut butter should separate in the jar)1 3/4 cups granulated sugar2 tsp baking soda3 tbsp cocoa powder2 tsp vanilla extract2 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 4 tbsp water, microwaved in five 15 second intervals, stirring each time. ( The flaxseed meal and water mix should resemble an uncooked egg-white when ready).1 tsp salt2 bags of vegan chocolate chips or a good amount of your favorite chocolate (use 1 bag if you only want to dip half of the cookies) Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bake in preheated oven for about 9 minutes. Vegan Lunch Box. VEGAN TICKLES. Vegan Appetite: Iron Chef Challenge for Vegan MoFo: Apple Peanut Butter Fritters. You can probably guess the special ingredients: apples and peanut butter. Everyone knows that dipping an apple in a peanut butter is a quick and easy snack, but for this challenge I drew on one of my childhood favorites, apple fritters.

These are super easy and can be adjusted for however many you want to make. Here’s the basic recipe. Apple Peanut Butter FrittersMakes 16 fritters2 large McIntosh apples2 – 3 tablespoons peanut butter1/2 cup all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoonPinch ground cinnamonPinch salt1/2 cup soy milk1 tablespoon maple syrupconfectioners’ sugar for sifting, maple syrup for servingoil for deep fryer or skillet Heat the oil in a deep fryer (or skillet) to about 365 degrees. Core the apples, then cut each one into 16 slices. Combine the flour, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Working in batches, dip the apple slices into the batter then gently place in the fryer. Psssst….drop the peanut butter and you’ll still have amazing apple fritters, perfect for fall!

Tofu Mayonnaisewww.ivu.org. Vegetarian Frugal Housewife. “Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread and pumpkin pie.” ~ Jim Davis, 20th-Century American Actor When I was a child, everyone was crazy about chocolate cake. It seemed to be the star of every birthday party, along with the balloons, presents and pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey.

Myself, I’ve never been extremely partial to chocolate. I can enjoy it, to be sure, but I don’t crave it. And, it certainly isn’t at the top of my “yummy” list, whether we are talking about cakes, cookies, candy or ice cream. I was pretty boring as a kid, preferring oatmeal cookies, white chocolate candy and plain vanilla ice cream. I honestly have no idea where or when this happened. Other people have harangued me for my choice numerous times. But, my one fault has always been that I have never baked a spice cake myself that did not come out of a box marked Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines. I wanted to make something special for my hubby’s birthday in May. Well, I couldn’t do that. 1. 1. Vegan. Vegan Appetite. VeganMania! Yummy Vegan Treats for You To Eat!
