Remember the first lockdown? When the whole world was homebound because of novel Coronavirus, we found plenty of ways to keep us entertained and a lot of us found a penchant for baking. Baking trends were all over the internet, and one of the delish treats that became a global sensation was banana bread. Not only is it yummy, but incredibly easy to make, and thus the hype was worth it we believe.
Now when it comes to baking, it is quite a challenge to give it a vegan spin. You cannot use eggs for sure, but even dairy products like milk and yogurt and honey are off bounds. But is it impossible to make vegan baked goods? Not at all.
November 1 is celebrated as World Vegan Day, as more and more people quit meat, the day serves as a reminder of a cruelty-free life, and a world where animals and humans can coexist. Veganism is different from vegetarianism, as Veganism is more of a principle than a diet. If you are a vegan, you not only give up meat, but everything that is sourced from animals, like dairy, eggs, honey. Vegans also refrain from leather and cosmetics that use animal fat. Therefore, food options are limited, but certainly, there’s much to play around with.
