Ingredients

Yield: 8 large scones Time: 45 minutes

Banana Date Scones

  • 8 oz. dates, finely chopped

  2. Whisk or sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. In another large bowl, whisk the flaxseed and non-dairy milk. Then, whisk in the mashed bananas, canola oil, and sugar. Combine well.

Vegan Mint Chocolate Cake

Vegan Mint Chocolate Cake

Vegan Mint Chocolate Cake that is rich in flavor but refreshing with its delicious minty frosting. You can also try making a cream cheese frosting by substituting the non-dairy butter for a non-dairy cream cheese option.

Ingredients

Time: 45-60 minutes

Vegan Mint Chocolate Cake

  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 Tbs baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbs vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar

Mint Buttercream Frosting

  • 1/2 cup non-dairy butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbs non-dairy milk
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbs mint extract
  • 2-3 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips, pulsed in a food processor (set aside for decoration)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans by lightly coating with cooking spray or non-dairy butter and dusting with flour.
  2. In a large bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and vanilla. Then, mix in the coffee until well combined. Finally, mix in the apple cider vinegar.
  4. Create a well in the center of the flour bowl, then slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir together with a whisk until the batter is free of lumps.
  5. Once your batter is mixed, evenly distribute it between the two pans. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean once poked in the center of the cake.
  6. While the cake is baking, whip together the non-dairy butter with a mixer until light and fluffy. Then, gradually mix in the vanilla, mint extract, green food coloring, and powdered sugar on the low setting. Get the frosting good and fluffy again. Store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to decorate, but if it sits too long, it’ll need to warm up again because the buttercream will stiffen up.
  7. Allow the cake to cool for 15-20 minutes before decorating, adding a layer of frosting on top of one of the cakes, then add the second cake on top and decorate however you desire.
  8. Decorate the frosted cake with the chopped chocolate chips. Serve and enjoy!
  9. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Homemade Pizza Dough & Sauce

Homemade Pizza Dough & Sauce

Homemade Pizza Dough & Sauce that is easy to make with a little preparation in advance for a tasty pizza night at home. For our pizza, we used plant-based italian sausage, lightly sautéed onions, peppers, mushrooms, and garlic, and a vegan shredded mozzarella, but you can prepare this pizza with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Yield: Two 14″ pizza crusts

Homemade Pizza Dough & Sauce

Dough

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 Tbs sugar
  • 1 packet active yeast
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbs olive oil plus extra

Pizza Sauce

  • 16 oz. tomato sauce
  • 6 oz. tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp italian seasoning
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 Tbs sugar
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Directions

Dough

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and sprinkle the active yeast on top. ALlow it to bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Then, add the olive oil, salt, and mix.
  3. Mix in half of the flour. If you are using a stand mixer with an attachment for kneading dough, set the spead to medium and mix for 5 minutes before adding the remainder of the flour. You may also mix by hand.
  4. Add in the rest of the flour and knead in a stand mixer for 8 minutes or knead by hand for 12-15 minutes until a dough is formed.
  5. The dough should not be very sticky, but should stretch lightly.
  6. Prepare a large mixing bowl by lightly coating with olive oil.
  7. Form the dough into a ball, gently roll into the oil of the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to proof for an hour, or hour and a half. The dough should double in size.
  8. When you are ready to bake a pizza, you may divide the dough into two balls and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface, rolling it out to a thin, 14″ crust, or you may keep the dough in one ball for a thicker crust.
  9. Bake at 500ºF and cook for 10-12 minutes for a thin crust or 18-22 minutes for a thick crust.

Pizza Sauce

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients.
  2. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  3. Spread out the sauce onto a pizza dough that has been lightly brushed with olive oil.
  4. Yields enough sauce for two pizzas, but may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
