Provided by Merle O'Neal

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegan butter, to coat the foil pan
2 cups almond milk, at room temperature
½ cup vegan butter, melted
¼ cup organic sugar
1 packet active dry yeast
5 ½ cups flour, divided
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup vegan butter
¾ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons almond milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Generously rub two disposable foil pie pans with vegan butter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted butter, and sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (37-43˚C). If it is hotter, allow to cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let set for 1 minute.
  • Add 5 cups flour and 1 teaspoon of salt to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size.
  • Remove the towel and add an additional ½ cup (95g) of flour and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
  • Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
  • Spread the softened vegan butter evenly over the dough.
  • Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll up the dough, forming a log, and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim off any unevenness on either end.
  • Cut the log in half, then divide each half into 7 evenly sized pieces. About 1½ inches (8 cm) thick each.
  • Place 7 cinnamon rolls in each cake pan, one in the center, six around the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
  • To prepare the frosting. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Remove plastic wrap. Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven at 350˚F (180˚C) for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  • While still warm, drizzle evenly with frosting.
  • Enjoy!

THE BEST VEGAN CARROT SOUP EVER



The Best Vegan Carrot Soup Ever image

This is a vegan spin on a Bavarian carrot soup. It is very delicious and I have even seen it made with other vegetables, like beets, as the star of the dish. Try it out and experiment with other vegetables. I have even substituted the celery with an extra carrot and a teaspoon of celery seed and it worked out great. The recipe listed is my favorite and it is a great go-to for vegans. Enjoy!

THE BEST EVER VEGAN SUSHI



The Best Ever Vegan Sushi image

One of the hardest foods for me to give up after I became vegan was sushi. Nothing beats fresh spicy tuna, or shrimp tempura crunch rolls. Unfortunately, many vegan sushi restaurant options are bland and filled with nothing but veggies. I'm left rather unsatisfied and still craving the creamy texture of sashimi. I decided to try my hand at making my own veggie rolls. Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi to enjoy an authentic sushi experience!

Time 1h23m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup short-grain sushi rice
2 cups water
1 pinch salt
1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
¼ small onion, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
¼ cup vegan mayonnaise (such as Follow Your Heart® Vegenaise®)
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, or to taste
2 sheets nori, or as needed
½ avocado - peeled, pitted, and sliced
½ cup matchstick-sliced Savoy cabbage
¼ cup matchstick-cut carrots
¼ cup matchstick-cut seeded cucumber

Steps:

  • Combine rice, water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir once with a bamboo rice spatula or thin wooden spoon. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until all water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; add rice vinegar, sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Heat mixture until all sugar has dissolved and liquid begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let cool until safe to handle, at least 10 minutes. Fold small portions of the cooled liquid slowly into the cooled rice until the mixture is slightly wet and sticky, but not gooey; you may not need all of the liquid.
  • Press excess liquid out of the tofu using a paper towel. Cut tofu into strips.
  • Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add tofu strips, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until tofu is golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Mix vegan mayonnaise and sriracha together in a small bowl.
  • Lay a sheet of nori, rough-side up, on a sushi mat. With wet fingers, firmly pat a thick, even layer of prepared rice over the nori, covering it completely. Arrange tofu strips, avocado, cabbage, carrots, and cucumber in a line along the bottom edge of the sheet.
  • Roll nori and sushi mat over the filling. Remove the mat and wrap the roll with plastic wrap, twisting ends tightly to compress the roll. Refrigerate until set, 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining nori and filling.
  • Remove sushi roll from the plastic wrap, slice into pieces, and top with the sriracha mayonnaise.
