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!
