Cookies!




(Who thought about baking cookies in the shape of men? Cannibals perhaps?)

Not Gonna lie, burnt the first batch, but dipped in tea they were EPIC.

  • Recepie:
    2 1/2 cups self-raising flour
    1 cup sugar
    1 1/2 cups syrup or melted molasses sugar
    1 1/2 cups vegan margerine

    -Mix, roll out, bake at 160 degrees (gas make 5ish?) until they look golden (but not as dark as these!! haha)

I love baking....can you tell???

Coconut cakes!

To make 12 coconut cakes:
  • 2 "eggs" worth of egg replacer + water
  • 4oz self-rasing flour
  • 4oz sugar
  • 4oz vegan butter
  • 2-3oz shredded dried coconut
  • dark chocolate

To cook:
  • Mix everything dry in a bowl, then mix with butter, then add water last till a smooth-ish texture.
  • Scoop into the cases
  • bake at 180 degrees for about 30mins, or until brown
  • melt dark chocolate over a bowl of hot water
  • drizzle with a spoon!

These cakes turn out really light and fluffy! I have baked vegan cakes for years and can never get this light fluffy texture without the use of egg-replacer, i have tried oil, soya milk and banana alternatives but egg-replacer works best in my opinion!

Even my non-vegan housemates love them! (in fact i had to cook two batches in two days!)

Banana Bread!


Ok, so it was supposed to be banana cake, but i apparantly forgot how to cook it and had banana bread instead.
go figure.
I can't tell you how to make it because i didn't mesure anything o.O but i can tell you whats in it!
  • Molasses sugar
  • 3banana's
  • 2 teaspoons of oil
  • self-raising flour
  • baking powder

Think thats it... if you think anything here isn't vegan, hit me up, there are always those sneaky little non-labled things.

It wasn't bad, if left overnight then sliced thinner, it makes a good sweet breakfast bread for jam!
