New Year’s Resolutions
It’s January, and for many people that means attempting to start the New Year out with some changes in eating or drinking habits. While they may not always last, these can be a fun way to challenge ourselves and open our eyes up to new recipes. For me, for example, I am doing vegetarian January because I want to save some money and try cooking with different ingredients, such as beans and lentils. Other people like to do dry January, where they give up alcohol, or Veganuary, where they eat vegan for a month. But even if you are not doing these this month, it can’t hurt to incorporate more plant-based dishes into your diet. So, today’s blog post rounds up some of our favorite vegetarian and vegan recipes from our blog – enjoy!
Bread & Rolls
Bread is one of our recipe categories that best fits into vegetarian and vegan diets. The recipes below are all vegetarian and very simple to make vegan. Just substitute plant milk for cow’s milk if the recipe calls for it and vegan butter for regular butter. If you don’t eat honey, you can always use another sweetener such as maple syrup or agave instead. Here are two of our favorite recipes!
Savory
While a lot of Scandinavian recipes are based around meat, especially pork, there are some meatless dishes that are hidden gems! With most of our recipes, unless they are entirely meat-centered, you can usually try substituting anything for the plant-based option. For example, if a soup recipe calls for added cream, add a vegan alternative or simply omit it entirely. These two are super delicious options so we hope you give them a try.
Cakes
Unlike bread, cake can be a little bit more challenging to veganize. Luckily, they are all vegetarian! Our æblekage recipe itself is not vegan but we have a vegan version that you can make that is noted in the recipe – see the link below!
Cookies
The most difficult thing to replace in cookies is usually eggs, but we have two recipes that completely avoid this dilemma! Just use vegan butter instead of regular butter and you are all set. If you are vegetarian, you can check under our “cookies” category for more recipes – they are all vegetarian-friendly!
Thank You 🙂
Thanks for reading! We hope you get some inspiration from this post and can try out our recipes. We want everyone to feel included and to be able to use our recipes, even though meat and butter are pretty essential ingredients in Scandinavian cuisine 😂 We will continue to try to find more ways to include plant-based recipes more frequently.
