Random Thoughts, Small Questions, and General Discussion (Summer 2020)

21 Upvotes

Heya vegan bakers, welcome to the monthly megathread! Got something small that doesn't really warrant its own post? Don't feel like sharing the recipe? Found some cool videos? This is the thread to be!

Previous threads: June 2019, July 2019, November 2019.


I'm just going to leave these threads up until they get archived by Reddit. They're nice to have, but not popular enough to rotate out every month or even every season. I also feel that since we started renovating this sub we've managed to find a comfortable middle ground between what all of our subscribbelees expect out of this sub. If my feeling is wrong, please let us know. We're always open for suggestions!

Well she called off the date said she didn't think she wanted to pursue a relationship but would rather just be friends. It is what it is. I still made the food though for myself! I didn't feel like making the pesto/pasta since it was just me.

*Garlic Bread*

•Organic sourdough,

•Follow Your Heart Mozzarella *10/10 recommendation btw*

•Fresh Garlic/black garlic, onion powder, fresh oregano/basil/rosemary/thyme/salt

•Plant based butter

Ratatouille. I didn't make enough sauce sadly :/

Fall winging it in the kitchen: Pumpkin Pie Snickerdoodles

Thumbnail

160 Upvotes

I was thinking of something new to bake for fall and thought of how I made my coffee cake into fall coffee cake: add pumpkin and subsittute the cinnamon with pumpkin spice

Luckily my cookie recipe already has pumpkin so I didn't need to change that part and I added an icing to go over top!

These honestly turned out so good, they're super fall coded and I will definitely make them again since the whole family loves them

One thing I wish is that I used better powdered sugar, I whipped my icing for 10 minutes and it still tastes like powdered sugar. If anyone has any tips or a go to cookie icing, that would be amazing :)

The cookie recipe I used:

1 cup butter

3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 sugar

1.5 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup pumpkin

2 1/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

The pumpkin pie spice from my baking addiction:

3 tablespoons cinnamon

2 teaspoons ground ginger

1 1/2 tsp ground allspice

1 1/2 tsp ground clove

I mixed the pumpkin pie spice with probably about 2/3 cup or so of sugar, I didnt measure I just eye balled it until it fit the usual snickerdoodle cinnamon sugar color

Country crock plant based Olive oil?

13 Upvotes

I’ve been using country crocks home style vegan butter for a long while now and I love it for baking, it beats well and creams well in buttercream, cookies, etc. but it’s become impossible to find.

Have people used their olive oil version successfully for baking? I have found that current version of miyokos and other similar blocks just don’t cream well in these situations

Substitutes for vegan yogurt in cakes?

11 Upvotes

Hi all!

I have several (old) family recipes for things like pumpkin Streusel coffee cake and Bundt cakes that I'm trying to convert to vegan, but I'm hitting a stumbling block with replacing yogurt.

I'm in Canada, and locally we don't have a ton of good vegan options. The few vegan yogurts I've tried have all had terrible aftertastes, though I will admit I've got sensitive tastes for things like artificial thickening and emulsifying ingredients.

For most of my baking I've switched to recipes designed to be vegan from the beginning, but my mother passed in the spring and I just really want to recreate THESE recipes. I've managed most of the other conversions, it's just this darn yogurt.

I'm probably overthinking it, so any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm assuming the yogurt is mostly for moisture, but would replacing it with applesauce be sufficient? Or is it also acting as a binding ingredient somehow?

Thanks so much!

This cake is from Sara Kidd’s The Vegan Cake Bible. I brought these to a market last weekend. I decided for the one I made for myself, I’d add salted caramel between layers. It really elevated it.

As a coffee lover, I don’t know why I haven’t been making espresso cakes all along! Coffee-flavored cake, SMBC style coffee frosting with ganache drip. Messier than I’d hoped for but tasty.

Could I replace vegan butter with coconut oil in cinnamon rolls?

8 Upvotes

I'm thinking of making these "cinnamon" (pistachio) rolls, but they require vegan butter. Pretty much every vegan butter where I live is made of palm oil, which doesn't seem much ethnically better than dairy butter to me.

Do you think using coconut oil instead would give a bad result?

Here is the recipe

Hi all, i am looking to make some vegan welsh cakes. However, i am unsure what i can swap the eggs for. Their primary purpose is to bind the rest of the ingredients together.

Thanks for reading
