Vegan dessert recipes
Plant-based brownies, fruit crumbles, cookies and creamy desserts made without dairy, eggs or honey.
A vegan dessert does not need a complicated ingredient list. Ripe bananas add moisture to a loaf, oats become a crisp crumble, and blended avocado makes a smooth chocolate mousse. These recipes use familiar baking ingredients alongside practical plant-based alternatives.
Choose vegan chocolate and butter, and use the plant milk specified in the recipe for the closest result. Measure flour by weight and let cakes and bars cool before cutting. A dessert made with dates, beans or fruit is still a dessert; portion sizes and nutritional estimates should be read in that context.
