Who knew that brownies could be creamy, fudgy, and sorta healthy?! These vegan brownies have a secret ingredient in them that nobody would guess… avocado! Yes it sounds weird, but trust me you cannot tell that there is avocado in here. These vegan brownies turn out super dark, rich, and fudgy. This is perfect for when you have avocados that are a little too ripe to enjoy in tacos or on toast.

This easy vegan recipe can be made in under an hour, or even less if you opt out of making the tempeh bacon. The cauliflower makes this pesto super creamy but still light, and the tempeh bacon adds a nice smokey flavor to the dish. This creamy cauliflower pesto sauce is the ultimate comfort food after a long day, but is light enough where you won’t feel super heavy and overly stuffed. Try it out today!

Pesto penne pasta, vegan style! This is a classic pesto recipe, minus the dairy and expensive pine nuts. I found that walnuts are a great substitution since they’re soft, nutty, and add some earthiness to the pesto. The trick for this recipe is to use really good olive oil, since that gives the pesto a lot of flavor. This vegan pesto penne can be enjoyed warm or cold. Make some extra pesto to save for other recipes!

Have you recently watched Seaspiracy and want to cut down or cut out seafood from your diet? These vegan zucchini “crab” cakes will help! The texture is awesome and they’re filled with all-natural ingredients. The Old Bay seasoning is what gives them their flavor. They are so good you don’t need to top them with anything, but you can always add a side of vegan tarter or cocktail sauce if desired. Pair them with a side of micro-grees, potatoes, rice, or grilled veggies!

Perfect for you pb&j fans! This recipe features peanut butter pancake batter and fresh strawberry syrup to make a pancake version of the classic sandwich. These fluffy pancakes are subtly peanut-buttery, so adding a peanut butter drizzle on top really brings out the flavor (or feel free to leave it off if you prefer more of a strawberry jam flavor). Eat them with a fork & knife, or fold them in half like a pb&j pancake taco. These are messy and delightful!
