Vegan Cinnamon and Sugar French Toast Sticks
Have you ever had the French Toast Sticks from Burger King? I looooooved them when I was a wee child. We were always pretty busy when I was a kid, my dad worked really long hours, and we had a lot of fast food breakfasts. My dad was always into eating right and staying active, but didn’t know exactly what that meant until more recently. He eats better now, and is more active than most people I know. I digress though, back to childhood, there were many a morning I chowed down on some French toast sticks, dipping them into the little container of maple syrup they came with. …
Vegan Strawberry Buttermilk Biscuits
Spring is upon us, which means this is the start of my two favorite fruit seasons in a row. Spring and Summer are the times my favorite fruits are in season, cheap, juicy and itching to be used in some recipes! Strawberries and watermelon are the reigning champs in my love for fruit battle. I actually really like the cold weather, so fruits and veggies are really the only reason I look forward to Spring and Summer. These, vegan strawberry buttermilk biscuits are definitely sweetening the pot. Strawberries are every where right now, and I HAD to make something amazing with them!…
Vegan Copycat Golden Grahams Cereal
Cereal was a staple for me most of my childhood, and frankly as a single, child free adult, it became a week night meal! Over the past few years, I realized I stopped eating so much cereal. As per my child’s request, I recently bought her some various cereals to try. I had a few bowls, and oh lord, the heavens parted and I remembered my love affair with cereal. When I was younger, I loved Golden Grahams! However, Golden Grahams is 1. not vegan 2. has a shit ton of chemicals and 3. has a shit ton of sugar. So, I decided to solve this problem, with my vegan, refined sugar free copy cat Golden Grahams!
This is actually incredibly easy to make, takes very little time, and can be stored in an air tight container for quite a while, if it lasts more than a few days! Throw it in a bowl with some almond milk(my favorite) or other dairy free milk, and you have an amazing perfect breakfast you can feel good about! The dough for the cereal is really simple, only 8 ingredients, and bakes in 10 minutes.
You can roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper, this way it gets really thin, and you just take the top piece of parchment paper off, and place the whole bottom sheet with the cereal on it right onto a pan. I cut the cereal into strips, then cut across to make small squares, then I just ran a fork along each row, to give them a little texture like the manufactured cereal.
They are so perfect and delicious! Just the right amount of sweetness, just the right amount of crunch, and I find myself craving this cereal that is much better for me every morning, and that makes me happy! I think I am going to work on some other cereals as well, so I can have my own fantastic stock of cereals in my pantry!

Vegan Chicken and Waffles with Spicy Maple Syrup
Chicken and waffles is a very interesting Southern staple. It sounds strange, but it is pure perfection. It was also just itching to be turned into a fantastic vegan dish. I have seen recipes for vegetarian chicken and waffles using pre-made fake chicken and pre-made waffles. So I wanted to create recipe from scratch that you could make pretty easily, and I would like to say, I think this may be the best vegan chicken I have ever tasted. I also made a Belgian style waffle, and it is the perfect pairing. Light, crisp and fluffy waffles, topped with the perfect vegan chicken. Pour on top my spicy maple syrup, and prepare for one of the best meals of your life!
I have been playing around with this idea for a while now, and I finally decided that the perfect base for the vegan chicken would be chickpeas. Mashed chickpeas mixed with poultry seasoning, no chicken broth and vital wheat gluten, make the perfect chicken tender type situation! They were absolutely delicious in every way! The texture was great! The taste divine, and the combination of waffle, chicken and syrup was outrageous!
I had some friends over for Sunday brunch, and I made a big batch of citrus Sangria, and these chicken and waffles. They were a big hit, and while filling and carby, I actually didn’t feel like total crap afterwards like I do when I am eating lots of other brunch and breakfast carbs. These are way lighter and healthier than you might think. I still had energy after eating waffles, which is saying a lot. I usually feel like I need a nap immediately after eating any waffles or pancakes. This dish is different!
You also don’t really need any special equipment to make the chicken which makes me feel great about sharing this with you. I know not everyone has a food processor or blender. All you have to do is mash your chickpeas, I just used a potato masher, but a fork would work, and then stir in the remaining ingredients! Voila, you are ready for your best ever vegan chicken! Obviously, you need a waffle iron for the waffles, but that is it. Also, I think everyone needs a waffle iron anyways. You can do amazing things with it!
Make this immediately! You won’t regret it, it will change your life. Well, if your life is food, like mine is, anyways! I hope you enjoy!

Vegan Crunchy French Toast
Guys, do you know what is f#$@*ing delicious? Crunchy french toast. Have you ever tried anything like this? My mom used to make us french toast when we were kids, she would make a custard like dip for the bread like you normally do, but then she would coat the bread in crushed up cereal! Oh. My. God. If you have never tried this, do it! My vegan version of crunchy french toast is much healthier, but just as amazing as I remembered!
The act of dipping the bread into the custard makes it luscious, moist and creamy inside. The act of coating in a crunchy cereal makes the outside, once cooked, crispy and caramelizes the outside from cooking the sugar in the cereal! All this together makes for a perfect flavor and texture contrast. Top with maple syrup or powdered sugar…and damn!
The custard is vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free. So if you want to make this completely gluten free, that would be super easy, just use gluten free bread and most corn cereals are gluten free as well! This will also contain very little sugar, and that will be your decision on what kind of cereal you want to get. This 9 ingredient, healthy(ish) breakfast also only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish!
All right guys, this is fool proof, fast and the best french toast of all time. You probably should make this this weekend. Brunch? Yes! Or dinner? Sure, whatever. I love me some brinner! I am quite certain breakfast food is my favorite and what I crave like 90% of the time. How about you? Add this to your list of the top breakfast foods of all time!

- 2 Tbsp. Flax meal
- 3 Tbsp. Water
- 1/4 C. Apple sauce
- 1/4 C. Maple syrup
- 1 tsp. Vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

- Make a flax egg, by mixing together the flax and water, set aside for a minute to thicken.
- Add flax egg and remaining custard ingredients to the almond milk, whisk everything until fully combined.
- Heat non stick skillet or griddle on medium high.
- On a plate, crush the cereal pretty fine, but so it still has nice texture, with a cup or your hand.
- Dip a slice of bread into the custard until saturated, then press into the crushed cereal on the plate, flip and crust the other side. Make sure each side is fully crusted with cereal.
- Spray the pan or griddle with non stick spray, and place bread into pan. Cook each side for about 2 minutes until cooked through and crunchy on the outside.
- Repeat with all the bread you plan to make.

Notes
- This will be enough custard for 6 to 8 pieces of bread, so you can make as many as you want. I think 2 slices per person is a good amount!

Vegan Huevos Rancheros Tostadas
I grew up in Miami, there were endless options for Mexican and Cuban food, as well as many other Hispanic restaurants. I was greatly influenced early on by my love of Hispanic food. There was an amazing little Cuban restaurant really close to my house when I was a teenager. My dad used to take us there at least once a week. It was astoundingly cheap and astoundingly delicious. I used to get a Cafe con Leche, and they had the most delicious plantains I had ever had or ever will have. My many hours spent at the cafe inspired a lot of mojo marinades! Huevoes Rancheros was one of my favorite Hispanic inspired dishes as well. I have never liked eggs over easy, but my brother and dad did, so I would make scrambled eggs for mine, and over easy for them. I had really been missing this wonderful dish recently, so of course, I made my own!
These “eggs” are a take on the scrambled eggs I used to make for my huevos rancheros, they are not just a crumbled tofu. I blended them with spices and a few other things to give them the flavor and texture of a real scrambled egg. It is incredibly easy, all you have to do it throw everything in a blender and then pour into a pan and cook like you would a real scrambled egg. Then all you need to do is fry up some corn tortillas and top with your favorite toppings!
Why did I make this vegan version of huevos rancheros into a tostada, you ask? Because it is so freaking good! Why the heck not? It makes it portable, crunchable, and delectable.( I don’t think crunchable is a word, but it should be) This entire combination is amazing. I recommend using all the components I did. I have a mashed black bean layer, then the “eggs” then avocado smashed with lime, salsa, cilantro and green onions. I would also say adding some vegan cheese is a great idea!
This quick breakfast is perfect for any time of day! I do love me some breakfast for dinner, and this kind of already borders on breakfast and dinner! You can totally get creative with this one, and throw what ever you want on these babies, anything you would put on a taco would work on these as well! Vegan huevos rancheros tostadas are so perfect! Have fun everyone!

Once all of it has browned a bit and it looks cooked through, remove from the pan and repeat as many times as you want until you have as many eggs as you need, depending on how many tostadas you plan to make.
- Heat about half an inch of oil in a pan on medium high heat, and once the oil is hot, add your corn tortillas, one or two at a time, cook for a minute or each side. Until brown and crispy. Repeat until you have all your tortillas done.

Vegan Banana Bread Waffles
Let us have a chat about bananas. I love them so much, and I think I may always go overboard with how many I buy(especially if I go shopping when I am hungry, am I right?), and then they go bad so fast! So, I am constantly thinking about things to make with very ripe bananas, besides banana bread. Don’t get me wrong, I love banana bread, it is just done to excess. Then I had a thought a few days ago, why fight it? I will just make it more fabulous! Vegan gluten free banana bread waffles became the answer to all my questions about what to do with my ripe bananas!
These waffles taste exactly like banana bread! I used a combination of oat flour, that I processed myself(but you don’t have to) and pecans also processed into a almost flour like texture. Mashed banana, cinnamon, then sweetened with either maple syrup or coconut sugar(I tried both, they are both amazing), this perfect breakfast is healthy, delicious and fast as heck!
I highly recommend getting a waffle maker, they are so awesome, and can turn any boring dish into something super exciting! This waffle batter, while being ironed, made my kitchen smell like banana bread, and it was totally awesome! This recipe is super simple, and is ready in minutes. Pour some maple syrup on top, and hot damn! So friggin’ good!
I also want to mention, if you are still like me, and you are trying to eat clean for your new year’s resolution, this is a perfect breakfast. I promise you won’t know they are really healthy and you don’t even have to tell anyone (shhhhhhhh….). Adding this to your repertoire will make life way easier! These waffles are perfect, crispy and crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy in the center. The pecans and oats together make a really great texture! I was actually not sure how this was going to turn out, but I was so surprised by how incredible these waffles are!
I hope you enjoy, and as always, if you have any questions or feedback, I am happy to hear it! Have fun kids!

Vegan Orange Pistachio Baked Donuts
There is a donut shop in Atlanta called Revolution Doughnuts, if you get the chance, go there. They have some vegan donuts and some non vegan donuts, but there are plenty of vegan ones to choose from and I have never been disappointed. They are all amazing, they have a yeast donut that is topped with orange and pistachio, and it is an amazing combination. Last time I had it, I was very inspired by how orange and pistachio taste together. I was thinking I would make my own take on this, and make it a baked donut, and fill it will pistachios processed into a flour. Add orange zest into the batter and then top it with an orange glaze. Oh, and some more chopped pistachios on top!
Is pistachio flour a thing? I don’t know, but it definitely is now! It was so beautiful to create and even more beautiful to eat! It gives the dough such good flavor and texture, I may have eaten more than my fair share of these babies. I made little ones, but you can make whatever size you want. I love baby donuts, it makes me feel better about eating like 10 of them, I’m all like “this has to only be like one donut, right?”
I have been considering doing this flavor combination for a while, but I thought winter was the best time to do it. When I think of pistachios and oranges, those flavors and scents make me think of cold weather. So, I thought now was a good time! They are perfect in every way. Really quick to make, baked not fried, and ready to party in your mouth.
Also, sorry for all the recipes that require a food processor, but I often forget not everyone has one, because they are magic. If you are vegan, or just trying to eat healthier, get yo’ self a food processor, you can use it for so many things. Including maybe continuing to process the pistachios into butter? I dunno? Maybe? It sounds pretty good, and I might go give it a try!
Okay, kids, have fun! Make these donuts, enjoy January! See you soon, and I hope you enjoy! As always, if you have any questions or feedback, I would love to hear it!

Vegan Maple Bacon Pecan Scones
The inspiration for these vegan maple bacon pecan scones comes from an absolutely amazing vegan bakery in Jacksonville, Florida called Sweet Theory Bakery. Their donuts are definitely some of the best I have ever had. They have a maple bacon donut that is to die for. I know maple bacon desserts were kind of the trend for a while, and I don’t really like to jump on all the trendy food bandwagons, but it has kind of died down a bit. So, I had been thinking for a while about a maple bacon scone inspired by how delicious the donut at Sweet Theory is. Then I came across a recipe for a maple pecan scone from The Pioneer Woman, and decided to combine my idea with hers and of course make it vegan. Here is the recipe for her scones, maple nut scones.
Well let me tell you, the results were astounding! This scone is hands down the best one I have ever had. So light and fluffy, the contrast of textures and flavors are outrageous! This is exactly the kind of recipe I think of for winter, the maple flavor and the smokiness from the coconut bacon. They are so comforting and holiday breakfast ready!
Using cold vegan butter and cutting it into the dry ingredients, just like a biscuit, is how you make these so fluffy and moist, and buttery! Then the addition of pecans into the actual scone gives it a great texture. The crispy and smoky coconut bacon on top is so perfect and goes so well with this scone it is insane.
You can use this coconut bacon for lots of different things as well, so you may want to make more, especially if your husband keeps walking by and stealing it! I was never really one to miss bacon, I don’t really care. However, I always hear, I would be vegan or vegetarian, but I can’t because of bacon. Well, my friends, this is a fabulous alternative. It is smoky and sweet and has the perfect crunch to it. So mouth watering. I crave coconut bacon way more than I ever did with real bacon, because ya know…real bacon is kind of gross.
So, in conclusion, make these friggin’ scones. For real, you will not be disappointed. There are a few different steps, but each is incredibly easy, and you can make the coconut bacon first and then leave the oven on the same temperature for the scones. The icing requires no cooking skills whatsoever, and is mega delicious. Alright kids, have fun and enjoy!

- And you are done! Great Job!
