Vegan Baked Oatmeal with Fresh Berries

Image
 A recipe for baked vegan oatmeal with delicious berries. The ideal nutritious breakfast that is filling and fantastic for serving large groups! This version is both gluten-free and vegan. Did I ever tell you about the time I consumed so much oatmeal in high school that I didn't consume any until almost 8 years later, after graduate school? It is real. From ninth through the eleventh school, I consumed one or two packets of quick oatmeal every day, and even now, I find the thought of instant oatmeal repulsive. Thankfully, cooked oatmeal does not make me feel the same way. If you've never tried baked oatmeal, then this is the recipe you've been waiting for. It's one of the few ways I'll eat oatmeal. Traditional oatmeal may be tasteless, gloppy, and bland. Oatmeal that has been baked is flavorful, sweet, and soft but chewy. I can't wait for you to try it too; it's my favorite (and almost always the only) way to eat oatmeal. Ingredients for baked vegan oats Th...

Fluffy Vegan Pancakes with Blueberries

These fluffy vegan pancakes make me so happy to share them with you! For what feels like years, I've been trying to master vegan pancakes, and I think I've finally figured it out. Over the years, I'm fairly confident I've tried at least a dozen different vegan pancakes, but I've never found what I'm searching for. Instead of rigid and gummy pancakes, I like ones that are light and fluffy. It takes a little imagination to make pancakes rise when heated on a griddle without using typical liveners like eggs. Because the combination of baking powder and baking soda produces extremely light and fluffy pancakes, I use both of them. The second trick is to swap out other non-dairy milk like almond, soy, or coconut for oat milk. Why is oat milk? Oat milk will brown better than almond or soy milk because it has more carbs, as I've already stated in other postings. Vegan pancakes frequently have a light tint, but oat milk makes the ideal golden brown cake. Make your ow...

Vegan Eggs Benedict with Asparagus

I prepared eggs benedict for you! If I do say so myself, the hollandaise sauce is considerably better without the eggs.  One of my favorite breakfast dishes is eggs benedict, and because Mother's Day (and my birthday!) are coming up, I knew I wanted to make a plant-based version of it at home that would be just as good as anything I could get at a restaurant.   There are a few steps in this recipe using different ingredients, but none of them are challenging or take a lot of time. The tofu slabs will first be marinated in a turmeric-black salt marinade that gives it an authentic egg flavor. If you're going to make tofu scrambles and other dishes like this frequently, you'll probably need to order black salt online, but it's definitely worth it. Any Benedict must have hollandaise sauce, but, to be really honest, I typically find it to be overly rich. Since too much hollandaise may completely dominate a dish, I frequently request it on the side so that I can add only the ...

Instant Pot Oatmeal

 The best instant pot oatmeal dish ever—wonderful it's incredibly creamy ! You must try this steel-cut oatmeal dish if you like oats. I've finally figured out how to enjoy oatmeal. Regular readers will be aware that while I love baked oatmeal and overnight oats, I'm not normally a fan of plain oatmeal. That's probably because I consumed what feels like enough instant oatmeal for a lifetime while I was in high school—at least one pack every day. Since many years ago, the only ways I've eaten oats have been cooked or cold as overnight oats. But after that, we renovated our kitchen. Three months of having just my Instant Pot, a microwave, and a toaster. There is a limit to how many frozen waffles or bowls of cereal one can eat before feeling the need for a change. WOW. I used the Instant Pot and added a few ingredients. Completely blown away. I would not have spent so much time by avoiding them for so long if I had known that ordinary oatmeal could taste this deliciou...
