Ok, We all know how delicious hollandaise sauce is. I’ve had a few failed attempts at a plant based hollandaise sauce until I realized  “black salt” is a MUST HAVE!! Black salt is an Indian spice that has a sulfur taste / smell… And let me tell you a  little bit goes a long way.  It is the key to any egg like plant based dish.

 

Vegan Hollandaise

Recipe:

In a double boiler place vegan mayo, aquafaba, butter and dijon mustard. Whisk until you get a smooth consistency. Add black salt, pepper and vinegar. Continue to whisk until all the lumps are gone and everything is melted. Let sit 2-3 minutes to thicken up. Add to your favorite breakfast meal.

 

• 1/2 cup vegan mayo
• 2 tablespoons vegan butter
• 3 tablespoon aquafaba or canola oil
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon turmeric (for color)
• 1  teaspoon black salt  (use more or less if you want a more eggy taste)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• splash of vinegar (optional)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After learning about my gluten allergy I’ve tried every kind of gluten free flour under the sun. Pancakes were always a staple in my life. Ive been obsessed with making cornbread muffins And thought I would experiment. Well nothing short of a success! Here we have it. Think the delicious texture of cornbread in a sweet or savory fluffy pancake.

 

Recipe:

Place dry ingredients to bowl and whisk.  Slowly add in the melted butter, milk, baking powder And aquafaba. Continue to whisk until you have the perfect batter texture. Let sit 5 minutes for the flour to puff from the baking powder. Place some vegan buttery spread in a frying pan. Fry 2-3 minutes on each side and flip. Drizzle with your favorite syrup or fruit topping.

 

Ingredients :

• 1 cup yellow corn meal
• 1/2 cup gluten flour blend. (I use pillsbury)
• 1½ tablespoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons melted vegan butter or coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons aquafaba (chickpea brine) or unsweetened applesauce
• 1 1/4 cup non dairy milk. ( I use almond coconut blend)
• 2 tablespoons pure cane sugar or maple syrup or whatever sugar sweetener you prefer
• pinch of salt
• Vegan buttery spread for frying

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup vegan cream cheese

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
