Cinnamon-Almond Croissants

December 8, 2014 by Epicurean Vegan

Cinnamon-Almond Croissants -- Epicurean VeganPuff pastry can sometimes be a vegan’s best friend. I had one sheet of it in the freezer, so I stuck it in the fridge the night before so that it would be thawed by morning. Otherwise, it takes about 45-60 minutes if you take it out and set it on the counter to thaw. These were ready in no time and were the perfect breakfast treat for a lazy weekend morning.

INGREDIENTS:
1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
Flour for dusting
2 Tbs vegan margarine
1/4 C brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp almond extract/flavoring
2-3 Tbs almond milk

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400. In a small saucepan, melt the vegan margarine over low-medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon and almond flavoring.

Snickerdoodles

January 21, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Snickerdoodles -- Epicurean VeganThese cookies are not flat and crispy like your typical snickerdoodle, but more like scrumptious little bites–definitely something I love! These were a cinch to make and the aroma of these baking was divine!

INGREDIENTS:
1-2/3 C all purpose flour
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 C butter, at room temp (I used Earth Balance sticks)
1/3 C plus 2 Tbs sugar
Ener-G egg replacer for 1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbs cinnamon
Baking sheet lined with parchment, waxed paper or greased (waxed paper worked lovely)

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat over to 350. Combine flour, nutmeg, baking powder and salt and set aside. In a large bowl, cream the butter with 1/3 of the sugar until light in texture and pale in color, then beat in egg and vanilla.

Snickerdoodles -- Epicurean VeganStir in the dry ingredients until blended smooth.

Snickerdoodles -- Epicurean Vegan(Well, I couldn’t get mine smooth, and I was a bit worried, but it worked out just great…)
Spoon out rest of sugar and the cinnamon onto a plate and combine. Then, with your fingers, squeeze out pieces of dough and roll between the palms of your hands into walnut-sized balls. (Shaping with my fingers worked best–didn’t crack). Roll each ball in the sugar mixture and arranged on prepared baking sheet.

Snickerdoodles -- Epicurean VeganBake for 15 mins (13 1/2 mins was perfect for mine), by which time they will begin to brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Makes 32-34. Enjoy!
For a variation, replace 2 Tbs of the flour with cocoa to make chocodoodles. I haven’t tried this, but next time I certainly will!

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
