Vegan Recipe Books

Today I was given a new book called, Vegan Bites: Recipes For Singles by Beverly Lynn Bennett. All the recipes are single servings, just enough for one meal and some leftovers. This is great because it is a waste of food if we make more food than we can eat. I have yet to try any of the recipes but if you are a single serving young adult out there you should pick up this book and take a look at it.



Although, today I did make some vegan coffee cake, and wow was it good! The recipe is form the book Sinfully Vegan by Lois Dieterly.

My Grandmother's Crumb Cake
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 cup vegetable shortning (preferably non-hydrogenated)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon Ener-G Egg Replacer
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup vanilla soymilk (or other non-dairy milk)

• Preheat oven to 350*F Coat an 8x8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a bowl combine the sugar, flour, and baking powder. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with 2 knives until the shortning is smaller than pea-sized. Remove 1 cup dry mix and set aside.
• In a measuring cup, mix egg replacer with 1/4 cup water and add vanilla. Fill the cup the rest of the way with soymilk until in measures 1 cup. Add liquid to dry ingredients and mix just until combined

I hope you enjoy the coffee cake, contact me with any questions!
