Vegan Spelt Hot Cross Buns

Hot cross buns hot cross buns one a penny~~

Easter is coming! If you guys have been to any grocery store lately, I'm sure you already know. However, I'm staying clear of the Easter eggs and bunny shaped peeps. Instead I'm gonna have these healthy, vegan, spelt, hot cross buns! 

Strawberry Coconut Marbled Fudge (vegan)

Hello! Made this delicious vegan fudge the other day. Check out the pretty marbling! This is superrrrrr simple to make. No cooking required. This is almost raw and definitely vegan :-) 

When I visited London in November last year, I saw quite a few shops selling fudge and I bought some home :) It lasted better in London though, where the weather was fridge like and the fudge could survive out in the open. After trying that fudge, I've concluded that the texture of this is pretty fudge like! I do hope you guys try this recipe out :) Coconut butter is different from coconut oil by the way, I got mine from iHerb.com 

Use the code LPQ082 for up to $10 off your first order ^^ 

This was my first time working with coconut butter and the consistency is really interesting! When it touches any mildly cold ingredient, even just the 1/2 tbsp if maple syrup I added to the white portion of the fudge, it instantly starts to thicken and solidify!

Buckwheat flour used here. Served with chocolate maple sauce, sliced banana, peach and dried strawbies.

This vegan waffle recipe is the best I've tried for vegan pancakes or waffles ever. It uses flax as an egg substitute, which may be a little inconvenient for you guys, but really I don't know what else can replace it! 

Waffle and pancake recipes can be used pretty much interchangeably. After all, waffles are pancakes but with abs.

Vegan Teriyaki Tofu Fried Rice

On to the next recipe for my major recipe uploading today. I'm trying to make use of this apare time I have as I realised I'm studying for a chem test that may possibly not even be tomorrow like I assumed it would be! 

I really love how this vegan fried rice tastes :) Fried rice is such an easy dish to whip up with whatever you have in your fridge. For this japanese-y fried rice, I wanted to add mirin but I ran out, [or at least I thought I did :-( ] and I wanted to add japanese chili powder over but I had apparently used it up too. I'm obsessed with the stuff, and spicy food in general. 

Choc Cookie Bananaberry Waffle Grilled Cheese

Hello. Brace yourselves for I am about to do a mass recipe update on this blog. Lately, I've been fairly busy with school, I'm secondary 3 now and my O levels are next year so life is only going to get busier. 

Anywho, this is the best grilled cheese I've ever eaten. 

1) It's grilled in a waffle iron. No explanation needed.

2) There is a cookie dough quest bar in there. 

3) The sweet and savory flavours work really well together! Cheese and fruit and chocoate and cookies yum. 

Strawberry frangipane galettes (vegan)

Mm galettes for breakfast. Galettes are tarts but are made without a tart pan so the sides are just folded over to keep the toppings in. I filled these spelt flour galettes with frangipane, an almond cream, and some fresh strawberries. A fairly simple recipe to make, but that's what I always say :/ 

Took a while to get this up as I've been awfully busy with school work although it is the march holidays :( I still need to share the recipe for my sweet potato kimchi sliders and teriyaki tofu fried rice! 

Watermelon Goats Cheese Salad

A quick, simple and refreshing salad, perfect for a hot day ^^ 

The watermelon can be cubed if you dnt have a melon scooper but I find the little melon pearls really adorable :-) Oh and I absolutely love feta cheese! You can add more but I think this amount is enough because the cheese flavour is quite intense so a little goes a long way ~

For 1 serving

What you'll need

1 cup of watermelon balls

1/2 cup spinach leaves 

30g Feta cheese cubes (or crumbled) 

10g walnuts (chopped or whole) 

2 tbsp orange juice

How to

1- Just toss everything together and serve up!

Waffled Vegan French Toast

I was so scared to make this. The previous time I did this, it a literally hot mess. The bread stuck to my "not so non stick" waffle maker, and I had to waste food, which sucked. But on Friday my parents bought me a new cuisinart Belgium waffle iron of amazing waffle making quality, which allowed me to create the crispest most delicious french toast ever. You can't even tell that this has no dairy or egg!! All these flavours work so well together :>

DOES IT NOT LOOK SO COOL? I was really quite fascinated when I opened the waffle iron. The first one stuck a little but but the second slice practically detached itself from the waffle iron. Which is funny because the second round, I didn't add extra oil and just used the leftover oil from the first slice! I guess Baylie just needed some warming up. I've named my Belgium waffle maker Baylie!!!
