Baked Vegan Donuts

What do I need:

How do I make it:

  • Whisk ground flax seed and water together and let sit.
  • Combine all dry ingredients
  • In a separate bowl, mix liquids and flax mixture
  • Pour wet into dry and stir until combined
  • Grease molds if needed
  • With a piping bag or a ziploc bag with a corner cut, fill the molds as per the picture below.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Let sit for 2 minutes before removing them from the molds.
  • Let cool before dipping them into the glaze of your choice (but they are still really good eaten warm without any).

For glaze:

Either glaze you use, you just need to combine all ingredients until incorporated.

Maple Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup of real maple syrup (don’t use the cheap stuff from the grocery store as it is too thick and your glaze will not turn out right. Real maple syrup is runny and the perfect consistency)
  • 1/2 tsp of maple or almond extract (optional and either is good)

Sugar Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tsp of non dairy milk
  • 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

Send me some ideas for next time. Just remember, anything you can make I can probably make vegan.

Cinnamon Sautéed Jicama

The fruit and veggie box strikes again! Again I get a new root veggie that I have not used before but have seen many times. So what is jicama?

I automatically inspect new foods the same way. I cut it open, smell it, taste it, feel it. So, jicama looks like a big, brown turnip and it smells and tastes almost like an apple.

To the cooking!

What you will need

How do you cook this thing?

  • Cut the skin off of your jicama. I tried to use a potato peeler but it took forever and it was awful. I gave up half way through.
  • Cut your jicama into smallish cubes
  • Melt your butter in a cast iron pan
  • Add in the jicama
  • Sprinkle in the cinnamon and brown sugar
  • Sautée the jicama until it gets a little softer. (It will not get fully soft, just slightly less firm)
  • Eat!

Tell me what you thought about this recipe if you try it. Just remember until next time, anything you can make, I can probably make vegan!

Oatmeal Apple Pie Muffins

My 3 year old son is obsessed with muffins. I make fresh muffins 2-3 times a week. So far I haven’t found one that he doesn’t like. I usually look around in my cabinets, on my food shelf, my fruit bowl, and my veggie box to figure out what kind I am making that day.

It warms my hear when I feel him tugging on my apron yelling muffin!!! I barely got them out of the oven and he’s already waiting for the first one. Everyone else in the house knows better than to try and take that first one.

What you will need

  • 1 apple peeled, cored, and cut into small cubes
  • 1.25 cups of flour
  • 1/2 cups of rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/4 cup of vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup of applesauce (usually unsweetened but I use whatever I have made at the time)
  • 1/3 cup of non dairy milk
  • 1.5-2 tablespoons of my apple pie spice (click here for my personal recipe: https://misscherise.home.blog/2019/06/23/apple-pie-spice/ )

How do you make it?

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • grease up some baking cups. I finally found my love of silicone cups!
  • In a stand mixer or a bowl, mix together your flour, oats, brown sugar, and the apple pie spice.
  • Add in the applesauce, vegetable oil, and non dairy milk.
  • Stir until moistened
  • Fold in chopped apple pieces.
  • Fill muffin cups 3/4 of the way full (or whatever, lol. So what if they go a little over the top when they bake)
  • Sprinkle the top of your muffin with a little bit of sugar and pop those bad boys into the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Check with toothpick, it should come out clean.

Storage tip:

When storing your brown sugar, you should invest in a clay disc. They are probably one of the most useful but random things that you could probably have in your kitchen. All you do is soak it for 30 minutes in a bowl or cup of water, pat dry, and put it in your air tight container of brown sugar. The moisture in the clay will keep your brown sugar from getting all hard and crunchy.

Until next time, leave me some ideas and always remember that anything you can make, I can probably make vegan!
