    Vegan Protein Donuts

    I’ve had about 20 friends lately ask me if I am now a vegan. I suppose that’s due to the fact that I’ve posted quite a few vegan recipes in the past few weeks. Truth is, I just really enjoy experimenting with odd ingredients (that just so happen to be vegan) and finding healthier alternatives to traditionally un-healthy treats. Like donuts.

    Vegan-Protein-Donuts

    I’ve made these donuts quite a few times now and in quite a few ways. I experimented with coconut flour, different kinds of protein powder, and some other weird ingredients. Every time they’ve turned out great but every time they’ve tasted rather different.

    These donuts are inspired by Aloha and their healthy “social gathering menus” initiative. I wish I could show their recipes to everyone I work with because nothing gets me more than free food at work. It’s both a blessing and a curse that I work in a place that has an abundance of free breakfast, lunch, and dinner meetings and receptions. Why is free food exponentially harder to say no to?

    The donuts are the worst of all the free foods for me. They’re always there. They’re always fresh. And they’re almost always delicious. Here’s my compromise:

    Vegan Protein Donuts

    While I had heard about them for awhile, it wasn’t until recently that I finally tried out some of Aloha’s products. I signed up for their free trial membership so that I could try out a few products before committing to anything.

    I’m kind of a sucker for good packaging and they do it so well:

    Aloha-sample-vegan-donuts

    I tried out their protein powders (because, as you know, I’m always on the hunt for the best protein powder!) and some of their whole food powders.

    Aloha Free Trial

    After browsing the healthy recipes on their website, I was inspired by this chocolate cake recipe. I used the icing recipe from this recipe for my donuts.

    These Vegan Protein donuts are dairy and egg free. They’re also flour-less and yet still delicious!! These are pretty similar to the muffins that we made a couple weeks ago, except they have protein in them and the egg was replaced with some apple sauce.

    Vegan Protein Donuts-4

    I was also running out of almond butter so I used half almond butter and half peanut butter.

    Everything is mixed together thoroughly in a bowl.

    Vegan Protein Donuts-9

    Once everything was said and done, I decided to add a bit of cocoa powder into the mix as well.

    Vegan Protein Donuts-10

    Again, stir it all up nice and good making sure there are no big lumps left in the batter.

    Vegan Protein Donuts

    To make things all a bit easier, I put the batter into a plastic baggie so that I can get it into the donut pan without making a huge mess.

    FotorCreated

    Cutting a hole in one corner of the baggie, the batter is piped into a greased donut pan.

    Vegan Protein Donuts

    This recipe makes exactly 5 donuts. Sorry to all the OCD people out there who really wanted an even number of donuts 🙂

    Vegan Protein Donuts-16

    Bake for 8-13 minutes. The time of these really depend on exactly what ingredients you use. The first time I made them, I used sunflower seed butter and they baked perfectly in 8 minutes. The next time I used peanut butter and it took them about 3-4 minutes longer. After about 8 minutes, take your donuts out of the oven and see if they’re done by sticking a toothpick into one of the donuts.

    Vegan Protein Donuts

    Once they’re done, it’s important to let them cool completely before icing them. If you don’t want to ice them however, the donuts taste pretty good warm out of the oven!!

    The icing is a combination of dark chocolate, vegan butter, and cocoa powder

    Vegan Protein Donuts

    Top with sprinkles and let sit for a while to let the icing harden. Alternatively, dig in and just lick the gooey chocolate off of your fingers afterwards.

    Vegan Protein Donuts

    These donuts are SO good and I feel a little bit better about eating them than the giant donuts people always bring to work.

    How about one more gif 🙂

    Vegan Protein Donuts

    For donuts:

    • ½ cup of unsweetened applesauce, or one 3.9 ounce single serve container
    • ½ cup of any nut/seed butter, I’ve tried these with almond, peanut, and sunflower seed butters
    • 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
    • ¼ teaspoon of salt
    • ¼ teaspoon of baking soda
    • 1 scoop of protein powder, ~1/8 of a cup. You can also replace this with 1/8 cup of coconut flour
    • 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder

    For Icing (which is optional):

    • cup dark chocolate
    • 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
    • 1 tablespoon of vegan butter
    • Optional: sprinkles for topping
    • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a donut pan.

    • Make the donut batter by combining the applesauce, nut/ seed butter, honey, vanilla, salt, baking soda, protein powder, and cocoa in a medium bowl. Stir until it is thoroughly combined and there are no more big lumps left.

    • Spoon the batter into a piping bag or small plastic baggie (with a hole cut in the corner) to make it easier to get the batter in the donut pan.

    • Pipe the batter into the pan evenly. You’ll end up with 5 donuts.

    • Bake for 8-13 minutes. After 8 minutes, take the pan out of the oven and test to see of the donuts are done by poking one with a toothpick. The donuts are done when the toothpick comes out clean. The bake time depends largely on the kind of nut/seed butter that you use.

    • Once done let cool completely before icing.

    • Make icing by melting chocolate and stirring in the butter and cocoa powder.

    • Ice each donut evenly and top with a few fun sprinkles. the icing will harden quite a bit if that’s what you want but it will take up to a few hours to do so.

    • ENJOY!!

  • Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Oatmeal

    Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Oatmeal

    recipe image

    These soft and chewy chocolate chip banana bread oatmeal cookies are super easy to whip up and are made with NO butter or eggs. They’re low in added sugar, low in fat, and BIG on banana bread flavour.

    Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Oatmeal Cookies -- deliciously soft and chewy cookies that contain NO eggs or butter! || runningwithspoons.com #vegan #healthy

    I feel like everyone has that one staple food that they always need to have on hand. That one food that they’d be willing to brave a blizzard to go out and buy. That one food they could happily survive off in the event of a zombie apocalypse. And for me, that one food is bananas. Perfectly pre-packaged, no cooking required, full-of-health-benefits bananas. Love those things.

    Given my slightly higher than average consumption of them, I’ve fallen into the habit of picking up a bunch or two whenever I’m in the store, even if I still have plenty at home. This way I know that I’ll always have some nice spotty ones on hand, which is especially helpful during the cold winter months when they take forever to ripen and stores like to sell them when they’re still basically neon green. Any extras I might end up with are frozen or turned into cookies.

    Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Oatmeal Cookies -- deliciously soft and chewy cookies that contain NO eggs or butter! || runningwithspoons.com #vegan #healthy

    Okay, that last one isn’t entirely true. I don’t normally make cookies out of bananas, but I do when I get hit by the baking bug at 5 AM only to realize that I don’t have any eggs in my fridge. Womp, womp. I know eggs are a lot of peoples One Food, but evidently they’re not mine.

    Luckily, in addition to things like chia, flax, yogurt, oil, pumpkin, and applesauce, bananas can be used to replace eggs in a lot of recipes… and bananas I have in spades. I mean — yes — they make the end result taste banana-y, but I can’t think of how that could ever be a bad thing… especially when chocolate is involved…

    Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Oatmeal Cookies -- deliciously soft and chewy cookies that contain NO eggs or butter! || runningwithspoons.com #vegan #healthy

    Oh.my.word. Can we just talk about how soft and pillowy these cookies are? And how each bite presents you with the perfect combination that is bananas and chocolate? These cookies legit taste like a slice of banana bread, and their texture is somewhere in between a cookie and a quick bread — a little cakey, but still wonderfully chewy.

    They also aren’t overly sweet and only contain 1/4 cup of sugar for the whole recipe… which is a good thing considering I polished off the entire batch in just under two days. On my own. Mmm hmm. I blame a weekend of snowboarding and a few days of study-induced munchies, but by the time you read this, these cookies are no more. Well, not unless you want to get into specifics about the whole digestion, absorption, and elimination process… which I’d rather not do.

    Instead, I’d like to remember them as they were when they were whole. Soft. Chewy. Banana-y. Egg-free. Dairy-free. Healthy. Easy. And delicious.

    “Based on the Post Punk Kitchen’s pumpkin muffin recipe, these are vegan, nutritious, and totally delectable! These are my go-to dessert for Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, or just as a tasty breakfast treat or potluck contribution. Loved by vegans and omnivores alike!”

    Ready In:
    35mins

    Ingredients:
    18

    Serves:
    24

    • For the cupcakes

    • 2 12

      cups and 2 tbsp whole wheat pastry flour
    • 1 34

      cups and 2 tbsp unrefined sugar
    • 1 12

      tablespoons baking powder, aluminum-free
    • 34

      teaspoon sea salt
    • 1 12

      teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 34

      teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 34

      teaspoon ground ginger
    • 14

      teaspoon ground allspice
    • 14

      teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1 12

      cups pumpkin puree
    • 34

      cup almond milk (may sub any creamy non-dairy milk)
    • 6

      tablespoons natural applesauce
    • 6

      tablespoons coconut oil (may sub extra light tasting olive oil)
    • 3

      tablespoons pure maple syrup
    • For the icing

    • 4

      ounces vegan non-hydrogenated margarine (I like Earth Balance)
    • 4

      ounces vegan cream cheese (I like Daiya brand because it is tapioca-based and tastes the best)
    • 2

      cups unbleached icing sugar (8.82 oz.)
    • 1

      teaspoon pure vanilla extract

    directions

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Use paper muffin liners or lightly grease muffin tins (recipe makes 24 full-sized or 48 mini cupcakes–I like to do half and half, so 12 full-sized and 24 mini cupcakes).
    • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices.
    • In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, almond milk, applesauce, coconut oil (heated to liquid), and maple syrup. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix thoroughly by hand.
    • Fill muffin liners 2/3-3/4 full. Bake full-sized cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until toothpick or knife inserted into center of cupcake comes out clean. Bake mini cupcakes for 10-14 minutes. (TIP: If you are doing half full-sized and half mini, fill the full-sized tin first and put it in the oven. Fill the mini tin and put it in the oven when there are 10-14 minutes remaining so both will be done at about the same time.).
    • Allow cupcakes to cool on cooling racks while you prepare the icing.
    • Using a stand or hand mixer, blend all four icing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Fill 16 inch pastry bag and pipe swirls atop each cupcake (be sure cupcakes are cooled completely before icing).
    • NOTE: These will do okay on the countertop or buffet table for a couple of hours, but they keep best for long periods in the refrigerator.

    2 hrs 15 mins


    Cook Mode
    (Keep screen awake)

    Ingredients


    Original recipe (1X) yields 25 servings

    • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), undrained

    • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

    • ¾ cup white sugar

    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional)

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 210 degrees F (100 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    2. Drain chickpeas, reserving 1/2 cup liquid from the can; save chickpeas for another use. Pour chickpea liquid into a large bowl and add cream of tartar. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until glossy peaks form, about 20 minutes. Stir in vanilla.

    3. Spoon mixture into a piping bag. Pipe into small circles, about 1 inch in diameter, onto the prepared baking sheet.

    4. Bake in the preheated oven until meringues are firm and separate easily from the parchment paper, about 90 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, at least 15 minutes.

    Recipe Tip

    You can use the liquid from cooking chickpeas at home instead of using canned. Simply strain well and be sure to cool the liquid to room temperature.

    Vegan Kung Pao Broccoli Lo Mein

    recipe image

    by Lauren Hartmann Leave a Comment

    Kung Pao Broccoli Lo Mein. You deserve this. 

    The weather is getting cooler and there is only one thing to do, make my vegan kung pao broccoli lo mein! It is spicy and delicious! It is easy and quick, it is the perfect weeknight meal! Broccoli marinated in soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Sauteed with garlic, ginger, green onions and chilies! Topped with peanuts! It is so freaking good!

    This is a 30 minute dish, max. I usually have the broccoli ready in the time it takes to boil the water and cook the lo mein. Then all you have to do is toss the lo mein with the broccoli and sauce and you are good to go! 

    The marinade has cornstarch already in it, so when you pour the broccoli and marinade into the pan to saute, it thickens in no time! No extra steps to thicken this super flavorful and amazing sauce! Sauteing chilies, green onions, garlic and ginger first in some sesame oil before adding the marinade gives this sauce an extremely wonderful depth of flavor!

    The sauce is then thickened and hoisin is added! Tossed with the lo mein, and topped with peanuts! I could eat this vegan Kung Pao broccoli lo mein, every. damn. day. It has all the flavors I dream of! Spicy, sweet, salty, garlicky, gingery, it is everything! 

    You can definitely use less chilies of you would like, but I love spicy food, and I would have to say even using 8-10 chilies, it wasn’t too spicy. That is up to you though, everyone knows their own spice threshold. If you know you really only want it to be mild, try maybe 4-6 chilies. It will be delicious no matter what! This is a meal that anyone will love!

    It is happening! Potatoes just couldn’t be a more perfect food in my potato-loving eyes. We’ve done the Tahini Celeriac Potato Salad and the Harissa Potato Salad, but I just couldn’t stop until I recreated the Classic American Potato Salad! Potato salad was always my favorite side dish at summer bbqs and cookouts. In all its cold, creamy white potato and mayo glory. Give me a big scoop, pile it high, and no one gets hurt! Potato salad wasn’t just a summer dish in my house. My mom would buy the Boar’s Head pre-made potato salad in the grocery store year-round.

    My mom and I would eat it up; my brother? Not a fan. He wasn’t a fan of any of the typical cookout side dishes. He’s more of a “give me the burger” type and I’m more of the “give me all the sides” type! But hey, that’s okay, more potato goodness for me! I was a lover of any kind of potato salad too. The traditional mayo-filled American potato salad and every other in-between. My favorites though, would be potato salads made with red-skinned potatoes with the skin left on. I remember a super delicious one that was made at our grocery deli counter that I would always beg my mom to get.

    However, for this Classic American Potato Salad recipe today, I was aiming for the full-on traditional. I used white skinned potatoes (but I did leave the skin on!) No need for food waste, my friends! Along with those potatoes, we just have the simple classic ingredients. The best vegan and soy-free homemade mayo or delicious options like Trader Joe’s, Target’s, or Hellman’s vegan mayonnaise! Also some celery, red onion, dijon, vinegar, dill, parsley, black pepper, and a hint of sweet paprika! Nothing fancy, just good ole’ American potato salad essentials!

    Remember how I said my brother isn’t a fan of potato salads? Well…he was a fan of this one! Vegan mayo and all! My mom was also a huge fan, but if I was able to get my brother’s seal of approval…I knew this was a winner. So even if you think you don’t like classic potato salad or you have a picky eater on your hands…think again and try this out!

    As indicated in my notes, if you use a steamable bag of potatoes…this is even easier 😉 Lazy American Potato Salad now! But I’m telling you, this will become a new staple at all your summer bbqs and cookouts this year and for years to come! But, I won’t blame you if you decide to make a few different potato salads. Tahini and Harissa make for some great eats too! A trio of potato salads sounds good to me!
