Very easy / takes minutes/ nice! Recipe found on instagram  Better with 3 apples!

 

Lentil patties

 Tasty- quick and easy. Love the flavors!

Here is the link which gives full directions with video and optional ways to serve: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8jKUrkyywF/?igsh=MW1sZHk2dGJtcjlqMQ==

Note — I was cooking this first batch at a lower temperature so had to cook them longer as I was cooking banana zucchini bread with it 😀. I ended up having to flip them over also.

Ingredients 

2 cans drained lentils ( go to link if you don’t have cans)

4 tablespoons flour or chickpea flour or me King Arthur measure for measure gf

1 medium onion chopped 

1/4 cup parsley (plus 2 tablespoons cilantro optional)

3 cloves garlic chopped 

1 teaspoon cumin (ground)

1 teaspoon coriander (ground)

4 tablespoons nutritional yeast ( or Parmesan)

1 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper 

Put onions, parsley, garlic in food processor and chop some. Add rest of ingredients and chop at intervals for about 1 minute. You can add a tablespoon or 2 of water if needed.

Form into patties and bake 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until browned.

If you go to link he tells how to air fry or fry if desired.

At 400 degrees I cook 15 minutes then flip and cook about 12 more.

Zucchini bread

 Very moist with a nice crust// dairy free and egg free and gf if you use King Arthur measure for measure flour as I did. 

This is a banana chocolate chip zucchini bread! I used dairy free chocolate chips.

Recipe here: https://theplantbasedschool.com/banana-zucchini-bread/

Note: I have reduced sugar down to 1/3 cup instead of 1/2

Chocolate cake gf

 This is when you want a quick easy fast gf cake. The taste is a tad different because it uses maple syrup for the sweetener. Plus it is oil free and dairy free.

 1 and 1/2 cups of King Arthur measure for measure gf flour.

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 

1 teaspoon baking soda

2/3 cup maple syrup 

6 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce 

1 tablespoon white vinegar 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

3/4 cup cold water

Optional/ a little added salt

Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9 by 9 pan with parchment paper.

Mix dry ingredients well. Add the rest mixing well. Pit into pan and cook 25-30 minutes or until toothpick fairly clean.

Mine was about 26 minutes.

For the icing I used about 1/2 cup of dairy free dark chocolate chips with soy milk to cover and microwaved for 30 seconds. You stir until chips are melted and it thickens.

Tofu mousse chocolate

 I like this best the next day-/ I added a bit of maple syrup to my mix. Recipe found here https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7U0Ya5qLah/?igsh=MW53cW0yejM2aW43Mg==

Note: had to do in my food processor first and then my vitamix as my dates were a bit too tough 😂

Roasted tofu

Nice— has a panko type stuffing on the top.

 We made 1/3 of his recipe, which is found here:

https://youtu.be/ceYKxwdB78A?si=juI96K4nu6TSrHe4

It has a panko type ( I used gf) stuffing on the top. I did substitute hummus for the vegan mayo and instead of the optional sherry I used Josh’s Sauvignon Blanc. There is a gravy recipe that goes with this as well.

Tofu waffles fries

 Yup! Slice extra firm tofu into about 1/2 inch thick ( maybe a bit less) rectangles and cook for between 10-20 minutes until crisp. Then you can slice into fry shapes and sprinkle seasoning and or use it in dips— nice and crunchy. Pictured is before cutting into smaller fry shape. Mine took about 20 minutes.
