Vegan Donuts, made using the recipe from Drop Dead.

Phew, it has been a busy few weeks! I am back at uni being super busy with a truckload of readings, lectures and assignments with the additional pressure of formulating a research proposal, and having it approved, by a supervisor for my thesis next year! However, I have been able to squeeze in some baking time! Tuesdays and Saturdays are officially my new favourite days, as I have the whole day off to do homework baking! Anyway, here are some recipes that I am loving at the moment!

Food:

Breakfast

• Caramel Apple Pull Apart Bread 
• Blueberry Chia Seed Jam 
• Toasted Oatmeal with Strawberry Chia Jam and Coconut Whipped Cream

 

Meals

• Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
• Vegan Spinach Mushroom Sticky Balls
• Potato and Grilled Corn Salad with fresh dill

Treats

• Raw Vegan Fig, Blueberry and Coconut Cream Cheesecake? Yes, please!
• Mint Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes
• Drop Dead Vegan Donuts (pictured), just make sure your sprinkles are vegan! Avoid colouring 120 (carmine), gelatine and milk products. The cheap alternatives tend to use carmine. I like to use soy based sprinkles that use vegetable colouring.

To Inspire:

• This doughnut cake!
• I bought this elephant milk jug, so in love! I am also thinking of buying the rabbit! I am such a sucker for homewares, it really is becoming an issue.

DIY

• Watermelon Wrapping Paper
• Strawberry Garland 
• Fruit Slice Umbrellas! 

To Think About:


I recently learnt that Oreos are not vegan everywhere (they are in Australia and US, phew!) but not necessarily Europe. For a great discussion read this, though as always, the most important thing is to always read the label!
