More and more people refuse eggs and other animal products for various reasons: someone for ethical reasons takes the path of vegetarianism, someone is fasting, and someone is simply tormented by allergies. Today, finding suitable substitutes for eggs is no longer difficult. Without them, you can cook anything, including great pastries - pies, pancakes and even cakes.
Vegan Chocolate Pie
Strict vegetarians, or vegans, refuse not only eggs, but also milk. To make Vegan Chocolate Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
· 3 glasses. flour;
2 cups of sugar;
2 glasses of water;
2/3 cup vegetable oil;
6 tbsp cocoa powder;
2 tsp soda;
2 tsp baking powder;
1 tbsp 9% table vinegar;
2 tsp vanilla extract (can be replaced with vanilla sugar).
Procedure:
1. In a deep bowl, combine dry ingredients. In another, combine the same liquid, then knead everything together until a homogeneous consistency.
2. Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil, pour the resulting dough into it. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C and place the future pie there.
3. Bake for 45-60 minutes.
Pancho cake with bananas
Ingredients:
1 glass of kefir;
· 2 cups of flour;
800 g sour cream (fat content not less than 20%);
· 1 cup of sugar;
6 tbsp vegetable oil;
6 tbsp carob or cocoa powder;
2 bananas;
1 tsp soda;
· Walnuts
Cooking procedure:
1. Add soda to kefir, wait a few minutes until the kefir begins to foam and rise.
2. Add butter, carob (cocoa), sugar to kefir. Stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add sifted flour to the resulting mass and mix again so that there are no lumps.
3. Pour the dough into a baking dish and place it in an oven heated to 180 degrees. Cook for 30 minutes. Cut the finished cake into pieces or break it by hand - accuracy does not matter here.
4. For impregnation, combine sour cream with sugar, wait until the sugar dissolves.
Cut the bananas into slices, lay out the slices of the cake in a circle and pour over the cream so that the sour cream fills all the grooves. Then lay out a layer of bananas a little smaller in diameter and pour over the cream again. Repeat the procedure several times, each time narrowing the layers to form a cone. The main principle of making Pancho cake is to lay out the ingredients in neat layers. If necessary, you can give the cake the desired shape using a spatula.
5. Grease the resulting cake generously with the remains of the cream.
6. For the glaze, heat the butter and add the carob (cocoa) and icing sugar (to taste).
7. Pour the mixture over the cake and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
8. Place the cake in the refrigerator for several hours, preferably overnight. During this time, the cream thickens, and the cake absorbs excess moisture.
Cheesecakes with vegetables
Ingredients:
180 g flour;
¼ tsp baking powder or baking powder (alternatively, add 1 tablespoon of powdered flaxseeds);
150 ml of yogurt or 130 ml of liquid sour cream;
150 g of hard cheese (for example, parmesan);
1 clove of garlic;
2 tbsp olive oil;
0.5 tsp salt;
0.5 tsp turmeric
For the filling: any seasonal vegetables (zucchini, carrots, pumpkin, broccoli, herbs, etc.)
Preparation:
1. Grate the cheese on a fine grater.
2. Combine flour, chopped garlic clove and salt. Add cheese and butter, mix thoroughly. Pour yogurt (sour cream) into the resulting porridge, sprinkle with turmeric. Stir until smooth. The consistency should resemble pancake dough.
3. Finely chop vegetables, chop herbs. Pour over with dough.
4. Pour the dough into molds and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Better to use special cupcake molds.
5. Place in an oven heated to 180 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes.
Pumpkin pancakes
You will need:
320 g of raw pumpkin;
100 g of oat flour;
· 150 ml of milk (cow or vegetable - coconut, soy, almond);
50 ml of water;
2 tbsp chia seeds;
1 tsp coconut oil;
1 tbsp cane sugar;
A pinch of baking powder;
Cinnamon, vanilla, salt
Cooking procedure:
1. Grind the chia seeds into a powder using a food processor, blender, or mortar and pestle. Cover with water and let stand for 5-10 minutes to form a jelly. It will serve as a replacement for eggs and a kind of binding agent.
2. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Add water if necessary to prevent the dough from getting too thick.
3. Bake the plump pancakes in a non-stick skillet without oil. The dough without eggs will be looser, so you need to be careful when turning it.
