Blogmas Day 21: 3 Vegan Christmas Dessert Ideas!

I am not a vegan, I eat meat. However, there isn't any meat in desserts.

Because I'm allergic to milk, I thought that the best way to eat desserts and not be ill is to try some vegan deserts.

I know that some of you aren't vegans, but even so, you can try some of these desserts, or just substitute milk versions.

I've scouted the internet and found 3 of my favourite looking vegan desserts in time for Christmas!

I haven't tried any of them, but as Christmas is only 4 days away, I really want to make at least one of them over the Christmas period.

Chocolate Chip Mini-Loaves

Ingredients:

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/3 cup natural granulated sugar

1 cup applesauce

2 tablespoons safflower or other neutral vegetable oil

2 tablespoons unsweetened non-dairy milk, or as needed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ripe pear, any variety, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice

1 cup semisweet non-dairy chocolate chips

1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans

I think these look so delicious. I am a big fan of anything with chocolate chips, so the fact that I can still have this while being allergic to milk is amazing!

Vegan Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

• 200g (7 oz) plain flour
• 200g (7 oz) caster sugar
• 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
• 250ml (8 fl oz) water

I think what I like about this (apart from the fact that it's chocolate) is that it just looks so nice and rich, which is difficult for a non-dairy cake. I don't think I could eat the whole of this though!

Vegan Cupcakes

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar                                                            

1 1/2 cups almond milk

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup white sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup coconut oil, warmed until liquid

1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract

I love cupcakes so much, so the fact that I can still have them without milk is amazing and makes me really happy. I think this is the first recipe that I will be trying!
