The Surprising Appeal of Vegan Baking (for Non-Vegans)
By Tamara Duker Freuman U.S. News usnews.com January 7, 2014 I am not vegan. To be honest, I'm not really even V- curious. As much as fruits, veggies, grains, nuts and beans are daily staples of my diet, I also consume milk, real butter and eggs – and bake with them as well. This is why I'm as surprised as anyone to find myself going back again and again to a half-dozen or so vegan baked goods recipes in my repertoire … instead of their conventional counterparts. There were those whole-grain apple poppy seed muffins that my kids gobbled up; some tasty*gluten-free, teff, peanut-butter cookies; an airy, chocolaty batch of flourless black bean brownies; and the chewy oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies that marked my first foray into baking with my children. While I haven't attempted a vegan cake yet, the idea is starting to grow on me – if only for the chance to experiment with a chocolate*avocado-based frosting*recipe I came across recently on Pinterest. What on earth has happened to me?!? [See:*Best Plant-Based Diets.]* Shocked at my own recent proclivity for plant-based baking, I've been giving lots of thought as to why I enjoy making these vegan recipes so much ... particularly when I hold no grudges against butter, milk and eggs. In so doing, I realized that there are several very appealing qualities to vegan baking that merit consideration for a far broader audience than the roughly 1 million Americans who follow a strict*vegan diet.
