Mini Vegan Pecan Pies

Mini Vegan Pecan Pies

An easy and comforting treat - these mini vegan pecan pies are so delicious and can easily be made gluten-free too! Pecans (along with pistachios!) are my favourite nut. They're so addictive when roasted and taste so delicious when they come in the form of a decadent and warming pie. This recipe is based on my festive spiced pecan pie that I created a couple of years ago for Christmas. I haven't made a vegan pie since (I have no idea why!) and I've been craving some recently, so thought it was about time I make another one. I wanted to make an even easier version of my recipe using ready rolled shortcrust pastry. I know that pastry is not [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies This is my first Christmas recipe of the year and I'm kicking it off with a good one - these vegan and gluten-free mince pies! When I think of a Christmas dessert, the first thing that pops into my head is a mince pie. Last year I made these no-bake mince pies and wanted to create a baked version. The beauty of a no-bake treat is it's easier and quicker to make, but I think baked treats always taste better! These vegan gluten-free mince pies are healthier than your average mince pie. Lower in added sugar (only 2 tbsp of maple syrup used in the whole recipe) and saturated fat, but at the same time higher in [...]

These vegan banana chocolate tarts are fairly low in added sugar (as far as desserts go!) and are made with great ingredients like oats, ground almonds, cocoa and oat milk.
