Many people dream of giving up animal products but are hesitant about their choice, believing that their new diet will involve giving up all the delicious foods they love. If this stereotype is the only thing stopping you from switching to a healthier and more ethical diet, then you’ll be surprised how many delicious options you can make using vegan hamburger meat: from main courses to desserts. Moreover, mince-eat-me products will perfectly harmonize both with traditional meat dishes and with baked ones, giving them a slightly chewy texture.
Delicious and Animal-Friendly Desserts
There are many ways to make a vegan cake without using eggs, butter, or milk. Feel free to continue making your favorite cakes, be it chocolate, carrot, or lemon, using vegetable substitutes:
- Coconut or sunflower oil;
- Almond, soy, or oat milk;
- Vegan cream cheese;
- Vegetable alternative to gelatin — methylcellulose.
In addition, you can use plant-based mince in your baking to make puff pastries with vegan meat and mushrooms, for example, Wholemeal breadcrumbs, the recipe of which you will find on the website of one of the vegetarian mince manufacturers — ‘Eat-Me-At’ brand.
Since vegetarian mince is made from a textured vegetable protein based on soy or wheat gluten, it can also be added to sweet baked dishes, such as pastry, to add a meaty texture to the cake and make it more satisfying.
Pros of Switching on Vegan Baking
Vegan recipes, and especially baked dishes, leave a lot of room for imagination and have quite a few advantages over cooking with animal products:
- They are ideal for people who need to follow a lactose-free and gluten-free diet.
- Vegan cakes do not use eggs, so you can cook with your kids without fear of them eating the raw dough.
- Vegan bakeries tend to be more nutritious due to the use of fiber, nuts, and fruits.
- Vegan treats can be stored much longer than usual without worrying that they will spoil quickly.
You can easily turn any recipe vegan by using your imagination and going beyond the stereotypes.
