If you want to bake vegan cookies for Christmas, you will find that this is easier than you think. For the classic ingredients such as milk, butter, or honey, there are numerous alternatives that will help you.
Vegan Cookies – quick and easy recipes
Almond milk, agave syrup, margarine, or soy flour – when it comes to baking every year during the Christmas season, there are a variety of vegan substitutes. Once you have tried these, you will notice that you hardly taste any difference from the conventional recipes. We have selected three simple ideas for you.
- Vanilla crescents: For these Christmas classics you need 250 grams of flour, 70 grams of sugar, 3 packs of vanilla sugar, 100 grams of ground almonds, 210 grams of vegan margarine, and 100 grams of powdered sugar.
- Now mix the ingredients and knead a smooth dough, which you put in the fridge for a few hours. Then form small croissants from the mass and put them in the oven at 190 degrees for about 10 minutes. You can sprinkle the icing sugar over the cooled cookies.
- Coconut macaroons: The recipe includes 70 milliliters of oat milk, 200 grams of powdered sugar, 200 grams of grated coconut, and a pinch of baking powder. Mix the oat milk with the powdered sugar until dissolved.
- Now mix the coconut flakes with the baking powder and add them. With the help of two teaspoons, you can now form small macaroons from the mixture and place them on a baking sheet. Then put the tray in the oven at 160 degrees for about 15 minutes.
- Banana-Oat-Cookies: You only need 2 ingredients for these delicious cookies: 3 ripe bananas and 200 grams of rolled oats. Start by mashing the bananas with a fork.
- Add the oatmeal and stir the mixture. Now you can form individual small balls with your hand and flatten them on a baking sheet. The cookies need about 20 minutes at 180 degrees in the oven.
Tips for vegan baking
You can also bake without eggs and milk in the Christmas bakery. The many substitutes on the market make it a no-brainer. So that you don’t have to worry about the taste of your cookies, we’ll tell you the best vegan alternatives.
- For coffee, muesli, cooking, or even baking, it doesn’t always have to be conventional milk. Just try it with an oat or almond drink. But coconut and soy milk will also give your baked goods a heavenly taste.
- If you don’t have any eggs on hand or you just want to leave it completely vegan, there are a lot of tricks here too. Although it may sound unbelievable, 80 grams of applesauce or half a banana can already cover an egg in your recipe.
- As a natural alternative to sweetening, you can – in addition to honey – also use agave syrup or a very ripe banana. Here you just have to try what goes better with your recipe. Otherwise, just a little bit of sugar is the classic way.
