Vegan Baking Recipe Books (and baking mixes)

Freya has published a book. Simply Vegan Baking is a book by former Great British Bake-off contestant Freya, to show how familiar recipes can be made without eggs, dairy or butter. From simple cakes and traybakes and bread to desserts and showstopping cakes, the faff-free recipes include many traditional favourites like:

Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets. Keep these cakes away from pets, due to not-safe ingredients like nuts, spices, chocolate etc. Also don’t feed stale cake crumbs to garden birds or wildfowl, as they could harm or choke.

Bin citrus peels as (like tomato/rhubarb/allium scraps), acids could harm compost creatures. And if using tinned ingredients, fully remove lids or pull ring-pulls back over holes before recycling, to avoid wildlife getting trapped.

For tinned foods, remove and pop lids inside, or pop ring-pulls back over holes (pinch top closed) before recycling, to avoid wildlife getting trapped.

Recipes include:

Lemon Rum Cake (above)
Oat Cookies
Bakewell Tart
Carrot Cake
Banoffee Pie Slices
Lemon Meringue Pie
Cinnamon Rolls
Salted Caramel Cupcakes
Vegan Chocolate Orange Cake
Black Forest Gateau

Freyas vegan baking mixes (simple to make!)

There are only a few brands on sale that are both vegan and without palm oil, so it may be easier to learn how to bake your own. But if you do wish to buy them (or need to buy some for wholesale), there are better brands.

Freyas is a small brand of vegan baking mixes, created by the author above (a former Bake-off contestant, she’s a Yorkshire lass!) There are four mixes that are all easy to make and bake. Two are for cookies, one is for sticky toffee pudding, but the final one is for lemon drizzle cake (England’s favourite!)

Recycle packaging at supermarket bag bins, or with council.
