Recipes

Okay, so with my oldest goober having major food allergies I've had to seek out yummy treats that have no milk, eggs or butter in them. When I tell people the treats are vegan, they think I'm crazy, but it just means animal free, and when it comes to dessert, we've found some good ones! A few moms have asked for my recipes for their own families, so here it goes:

Wacky Cake (chocolate cake great for Birthdays!)
Preheat oven to 350*. Grease 9x13 pan.

Measure into medium/large bowl:

3 cups Flour

2 cups Sugar

½ cup Cocoa

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 tsp. Salt

Mix to combine. Make a well in centre and Add:

¾ cup Oil

2 tsp. Vinegar

2 tsp. Vanilla

2 cups Water

Mix well and pour into pan. Bake approximately 35 minutes.

Bake 24 cupcakes (in papers) for 25 minutes.

Banana Quick Bread - Vegan

3 Bananas, mashed

¼ cup Oil

½ cup Brown Sugar, packed

¼ cup Granulated Sugar

1 ½ tsp. Baking Powder

1 tsp. Baking Soda

¼ tsp. Salt

1 cup All Purpose Flour

½ cup Whole Wheat Flour

½ cup Chocolate Chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 370*F.

Mash the bananas well & combine with oil & sugars to cream. Add salt, powder & soda to combine. Stir in each of the flours, mixing until just moistened. Bake in a greased and floured (or parchment lined) loaf pan for 35-40 min. or until toothpick comes out clean. Let rest a few min. before removing from pan to wire rack to cool.

[okay, so this one isn't dessert but it's delicious!]

Vegan Apple Spice Cake

1 1/2 Cups Flour

1 Cup Brown Sugar

1 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

1/4 tsp. Salt

1 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

1/2 Cup Oil

1 1/4 Cups Apple Sauce

1/4 Cup Apple Juice (scant)

Mix ingredients and Bake at 375*F for 30 minutes in a greased 8 inch round or square pan.

I hope these help someone out... I know I had a hard time finding some of them (I altered a plain to create the Apple Spice) =)
