Default vegan oatmeal raisin cookies

8-10 min @ 375 degrees

1 c. raisins
3/4 c. soy margarine
1 1/2 c. turbinado (or, if you eat sugar, 1 c. brown sugar and 1/2 c. white)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 egg replacer
1 1/2 c. flour
2 c. oats

1. Boil water. Add raisins. Boil for a minute or so. Turn off burner and let raisins soak.

2. Mix margarine and sugar.

3. Add baking powder, soda, and spices.

4. Add your favorite egg substitute. (I use Egg Replacer.)

5. Add flour and oats.

6. Usually, I have to add a little bit of water to make the dough softer.

Put on cookie sheets and bake. Makes up to 30 decent-sized cookies.

Smile Apple Crisp

Serves 4 to 6

5 or 6 apples
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
cinnamon to taste
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Chop the apples* and place them in a lightly oiled 8- × 8-inch baking pan. Cover the chopped apples with the maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon.

In a bowl, mix the flour and oatmeal. Then add the applesauce and brown sugar. Mix until the flour is just moistened.

Spread the oatmeal mixture onto the apples. (Don’t worry if all of the chopped apples aren’t covered.) Bake for 30 to 35 minutes and serve warm.

* You may peel the apples first if you prefer.

Talking Bread Pudding

Total servings: 6

6 slices of white bread, without crust
2 tablespoon margarine or butter
100g raisins
750 ml soy milk
150 g white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs

Put the raisins on the bottom of a baking dish. Butter each slice of bread with the margarine. Put the bread slices, with the buttered side, on top of the raisins.

In a saucepan add the soymilk and bring to boiling point (no need to boil the soymilk). Remove from heat and add sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

In another bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in slowly the hot soymilk mixture, while stirring very well. Pour this mixture over the bread. Put the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill this baking pan half with hot water. Put the bread pudding in an oven at 180C/350F and bake during 50 minutes. Remove the bread pudding from the oven.

Serve the bread pudding warm or cold.

Default Simple baked apple


Core 1 large red apple (I like Macs or Nothern Spy), leaving the bottom intact as a plug for the filling. Cut a thin slice off the bottom to flatten the apple so it will sit properly.

Fill with a mixture of maple syrup, cinnamon, raisins & chopped nuts (walnuts or Hazelnuts are good).

Bake in a shallow baking dish for about 30 - 45 minutes at 350F

Default Cherry Meringue Cookies - vegetarian

(originally posted by 3fc member Tobeytoe)
makes about 6 dozen

2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup dried pitted cherries, finely chopped
4 egg whites
Pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar

1. Preheat oven to 225f. In a microwave proof dish, sprinkle the water and extract over the chopped cherries. Microwave for 30 seconds and set aside to cool.

2. With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the salt and cream of tartar, and continue beating. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating thoroughly between additions, taking about 10 minutes to add all the sugar. When all sugar has been added, beat an additional 5 minutes. Meringue should be smooth, stiff, and glossy.

3. Drain cherries of any liquid not absorbed and pat dry between paper towels. Fold gently into meringue.

4. Line baking sheets with foil or parchment. Fit a large pastry bag with a 1/2-inch plain or serrated tip. Spoon meringue into bag and pipe 1-1/2-inch kisses, 1/2 inch apart, onto prepared sheets. (Meringue can also be dropped by tablespoonful onto baking sheet.)

5. Reduce oven temperature to 200 and bake meringues 1-1/2 hours, until the meringues are dry to the touch and lift easily. Humidity can greatly affect drying/baking time, so be sure meringues are dry before removing from oven. Cool cookies completely on sheets before storing, tightly
covered, in a cool, dry place.

2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons almond extract
1/4 cup almonds, finely chopped

Default Rice Pudding With Dried Cherries And Vanilla

(originally posted by TobeyToe)

You can find dried cherries at most bulk food stores. However, you can substitute dried
cranberries or raisins.

6 Servings

1/3 cup dried tart cherries

4 1/2 cups skim milk
2/3 cup long-grain white rice
1/3 cup sugar
1 3x1-inch orange peel strip (orange part only)
Generous pinch of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Place cherries in small bowl. Cover with hot water. Let stand 15 minutes. Drain.

Combine milk, rice, sugar, orange peel and salt in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer gently uncovered until rice is very tender and pudding is creamy, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Mix in cherries and
vanilla. Divide among 6 custard cups. Cool. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
