SPROUTED KITCHEN - A Tastier Take on Whole Foods vegan baking?! | nom! nom! nom! blog.com Vegan bak­ing may seem impos­si­ble, espe­cially if you are some­one who has been sub­jected to some awful vegan baked goods. But it’s not veg­an­ism mak­ing them bad. Think of how many con­ven­tional baked goods you have had that were lack­lus­ter or down­right gross. Dry, crumbly cake, hard cook­ies, soggy pies, we’ve all eaten them. And let’s be hon­est.. if it was your first time eat­ing a vegan baked good don’t you think you might have been expect­ing some­thing to taste dif­fer­ent, and so it did? But back to vegan bak­ing. But first, a vegan bak­ing primer. Sug­ars– Sugar cane is refined using ani­mal bone char­coal fil­ters. But­ter– Clearly not vegan. I real­ize, how­ever, that not every­one has access to stores that stock explic­itly vegan mar­garine. Milk– How now, vegan cow? Eggs– Replac­ing eggs in baked goods seems like a daunt­ing task when you first take the plunge into vegan bak­ing, but it turns out that it’s sim­ple, tasty and effec­tive. To replace 1 egg try:

Tofu Tikka Masala Recipe | Dairy-free, Vegan | Slow Cooker Option I can’t believe that I’ve had my vegan tikka masala recipe hanging out in my Google Drive for fully THREE years and finally remade it to share it with you! Just food blogger problems I guess. The list of future recipes is always growing infinitely larger :). This is a slow cooker tofu tikka masala – start by sauteeing a few aromatics and spices in a pan, but then transfer everything to your Crock Pot (or pressure cooker!) Traditional chicken tikka masala (which, I’ll add, is thought to actually originate from the UK) involves marinating the protein in a spiced yogurt mixture before starting the curry. You can mix up this tofu tika masala by substituting chickpeas or adding vegetables like sweet potato or cauliflower; but I happen to like it exactly as written. Aside from turning this curry vegetarian, I had to do something about the cream normally found in this recipe. Hearty, creamy, delicious tofu tikka masala that cooks in your slow cooker or Instant Pot for easy meal prep. Iron 22%

Vegan Brown Rice Pudding By Lauren Zembron, on April 3rd, 2012 Rice pudding – to me – is a dessert that transcends seasonality. Whether you cozy up to a steaming bowl of the comforting dessert on a blustery winter evening or relax with a dish of the chilled treat on a sweltering summer afternoon, rice pudding is a delicious indulgence. Here I offer you a vegan version that is fantastic served either warm or cold! A combination of light coconut milk and homemade brown rice milk strikes the ideal balance between rich and light, and a moderate amount of added sugar renders this rice pudding breakfast-appropriate. Brown sweet rice is cooked right in the coconut milk/rice milk mixture, and the resulting pudding is perfectly thick and creamy right out of the saucepan. Even though they’re not quite in season up here in Massachusetts (and won’t be until June) I couldn’t help but pick up a package of juicy & sweet organic strawberries to serve with the rice pudding. How would you enjoy this rice pudding? by Lauren Zembron
