Vegan Receipe - 'Fruity Date' - Overnight Oats wirh Dried Fruit & Nuts



This was first attempt at overnight oats and I was blown away by the result!

I'll be honest and say that overnight oats never appealed to me before but lately it's been calling me to try them and I am so glad I did!

For this overnight oats I blended x6 soft pitted dates with water and poured the mixture over some dried oats and stirred through. I used this in place of plant based milk as I don't drink tea or coffee which means I never buy plant based milks.

My current way of eating and the receipes that I tend to create don't require plant based milks. You can of course use plant based milks if you prefer. 

What I love about dates is that they are such a good natural sweetner on their own!

 I judge the liquid content by how easy it was to mix as I am an eyeballing kind of girl. Most people use 1 cup of water to 1 cup of oats ratio.

 It was easy to stir but not too easy, a nice thick mixture. I then put the mixture in the fridge overnight to do its thing. In the morning I stirred again and added some dried fruit and nut mix and voila! A truly delicious combination! 

I love how quick and easy this breakfast was to prepare. Such a filling, super tasty, raw and nutrious breakfast, a great way to start the day!

Vegan Receipe - 'Saucy Sausage' - Vegan Yellow Cornflour 'Sausages' - Just 3 Ingredients!









This receipe is identical to my vegan corn flour 'chicken' except that the dough is rolled into sausage shapes instead of patty shapes.


They are pictured on this page served on a bed of salad with mango and chayote dressing.


They really do tasty like sausages! They are lightly crisp on the outside and nice and meaty on the inside, they remind me slightly of Linda McCartney's Sausages.

I tend to make my food by eyeballing the ingredients so adjust ingredients according to taste.
.

○Yellow cornflour (Juana Brand, Maiz Cascado)
○Pink Rock Salt
○Black Pepper 







To make the yellow corn flour vegan sausages:

Pour yellow corn flour into a mixing bowl.

Grind in some pink sea salt.



Grind in some black pepper.



Pour in some water little by little and form a dough. You can always add more water or cornflour if initially it's too wet or too dry.

 



You want a firm but moist dough. Once you have the desired texture you can then split into sections and roll into a ball with your hands.


Tear into rough balls and roll between your hands into sausage shapes.



Once firmed fry in a little oil until brown on both sides.

Vegan Receipe - 'Chicken-ish' - Gluten Free Vegan 'Chicken' - Just 3 Ingredients! - Chicken Alternative








This is a receipe for a quick simple and tasty vegan 'chicken' made from yellow cornflour.

They can be eaten either sweet or savoury. I n this case I made the vegan chicken itself savoury and served one portion with side salad and the other was topped with bananas which was a nice combination of sweet and savoury!

I tend to make my food by eyeballing the ingredients so these are not official measurements! Adjust ingredients according to taste.

○Yellow Cornflour (Juana Brand, Maiz Cascado)
○Pink Rock Salt
○Black Pepper





To make the yellow corn flour vegan chicken...

Pour yellow corn flour into a mixing bowl.





Grind in some pink sea salt.





Grind in some black pepper.



Pour in some water little by little and form a dough. You can always add more water or cornflour if initially it's too wet or too dry.

 


You want a firm but moist dough. Once you have the desired texture you can then split into sections and roll into a ball with your hands.

 


Place the balls on a plastic surface (like a freezer bag) and squish with your the palm of your hands then peel off. You want rough shapes and if they come out uneven this actually helps them to look more like chicken when they fry!



Heat up some oil and fry the patties on each side until they are a light golden brown.









These vegan 'chicken' burgers are very filling and satisfying and also extremely versatile.

You could also use the pieces as burger buns and put salad inbetween them.

If you do try them let me know your thoughts and whether you ate them sweet or savoury
