Edamole

Notes: We both thought this was ok. Probably better as a sandwich spread or base layer in a taco or burrito then a straight up dip.

Ingredients:
2 cups frozen edamame (soy beans), thawed
1 tsp salt
2 whole small limes, juiced
a dash of cayenne pepper
1 tsp cumin
¼ cup fresh cilantro
1 whole garlic clove
½ whole sweet onion
1 whole tomato, diced

Directions:
Combine all ingredients except tomatoes in a food processor and blend until smooth, scraping sides as necessary. If its too rustic, add 1-2 tbsp water. Stir in tomatoes and serve.

Baked Chocolate Doughnuts

3 tbsp pure maple syrup
¼ cup light brown sugar
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ cup vegan chocolate chips

1 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp plant-based milk

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl, whisk 1 cup non-dairy milk, lemon juice, 3 tbsp maple, light brown sugar & 1-2 tsp vanilla together until foamy and bubbly. In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, baking soda and chocolate chips (crushed). Pour wet into dry and use a spatula to combine. Spoon into a greased 6-donut pan. Bake 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make icing by whisking the last ingredients together (confectioners sugar, 1 tbsp maple, 1 tsp vanilla and 1-2 tbsp non-dairy milk). Submerge cooked, but cool, doughnuts into icing and let glaze drip off. Transfer to wire wrack for drying.

Enchilada Stack

Not sure what you’d call this.
3 corn tortillas layered with vegetarian re-fried beans and chopped fresh spinach. Covered with enchilada sauce.
I spread a thin coat of enchilada sauce on the bottom of and oven dish and cooked for around 20 minutes on 350.
Once out of the oven I topped with sliced olives and cilantro.

Pictured above served with home-made guacamole and home-baked tortilla chips.

Baked Donuts

Notes: Makes 12 donuts

Ingredients:
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup soy, almond, or rice milk
¼ cup canola oil
¼ cup white or apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Vanilla or Chocolate Glaze (recipe to follow)
Optional toppings: Rainbow or chocolate sprinkles, chopped toasted almonds, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips.

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease two donut pans.

In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk nondairy milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk together quickly until just combined. Do not over mix.

Using a pastry bag or plastic bag with the tip cut, pipe batter into the prepared donut pans and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let sit 5 minutes before unmolding.

Chocolate Glaze
¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips (dairy-free)
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon soy, almond, or rice milk
½ cup powdered sugar

In a double boiler or microwave, melt the chocolate chips and nondairy milk together. Whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before glazing so that the glaze thickens and any powdered sugar clumps dissolve.

Old-Fashioned Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons soy, almond, or rice milk

In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar and nondairy milk until smooth.

To assemble donuts: Dip each donut into the glaze, covering the top. Twist the donut as you remove it from the glaze to give it a nice finish and prevent dripping. Immediately sprinkle the topping onto the glaze and let set.
