Minimalist Baker delivers yet again a great recipe. I also browsed and used tips from other websites. It’s a bit time consuming, but well worth your efforts. Ingredients: 2x20oz cans young green jackfruit (in anything but syrup) – the Trader Joe’s brand has worked well for me so far. 1/4c BBQ seasoning: 2 TBSP brown…

Epic vegan chocolate chip cookies [need 24 hours notice]
I had given up on vegan chocolate chip cookies. Then I tried one more time and BOOM. These. They can be made without waiting overnight, but we tried both and the votes were unanimous for the 24 hours aged dough. The cookies will still be good if baked right away – but they’ll be that…

Masor dal [gently spiced lentils with an Indian flair] with awesome coconut rice
I firmly believe I lived many lives in India – I love that cuisine so much! Besides, the variety of Indian vegetarian meals that are easily veganizable is a heavens-send for anyone bored of traditional rice and beans for their plant protein intake. Make this meal. Now. Make a lot, and freeze out portions. Your…

Moar protein! Moar protein!!! MOARRRRRRR! Well, you’re in luck because I have this super easy way to prepare tofu or tempeh – because let’s face it, these are great way to get some plant-based protein, but they can get super bland (and bitter, in the case of tempeh) . Ingredients: Packaged extra-firm tofu or tempeh…

Mochi banana cake aka gooeyness heaven
I cannot even remember how I started researching and stumbled upon this recipe by Jenné Claiborne but I’m so glad I did. I followed a recommendation to get Mochiko sweet rice flour (easy to get on Amazon) and I could not wait to try when my package was delivered today. Amazon Prime really is the best $100…
Coconut bars, vegan + GF
As inspired by Oh She Glows here. I did not want to use anything processed, so instead of Graham crackers, I used the pecans that were supposed to be on top for the crust. Then, I ran out of chocolate chips so I changed things up a little in the custard as well. Finally, note that these…
