Easy Vegan Desserts Everyone Can Enjoy

Banana Bread

Who can resist the warm, comforting aroma of freshly baked banana bread? This vegan version is just as delicious as the classic. All you need is ripe bananas, flour, a bit of sugar, a pinch of salt and some olive oil. Simply mix everything together and bake in the oven at 180 degrees C until golden brown. This sweet treat is perfect for any time of day, making a quick brekkie bite or a more substantial afternoon snack (topped with your favourite dairy-free spread lathered on top).

Lemon Cake

If you’re craving something zesty and sweet, vegan lemon cake is the way to go. With simple ingredients like flour, lemon juice, some sugar and your choice between plant-based milk or olive oil, you’ll be able to create the perfect moist cake that’s light, fluffy and bursting with lemon flavour. Of course, every lemon cake needs a drizzle topping, so try making your own vegan icing with icing mix, a small pinch of water and lots of lemon juice – yum!

Apple Crumble

This super simple treat is almost always guaranteed to make your day better. Simply mix flour, dairy-free spread, sugar, cinnamon, oats, mixed nuts and chopped apple into a bowl, transfer into a small skillet or round baking utensil and bake in the oven until golden brown. To take it to the next level, make sure you bake some chopped apple dusted with flour and coated in vegan butter beforehand, so you have something crunchy to top the final product with.

Ice Cream Bars

Especially as the weather continues to get warmer, homemade vegan ice cream bars are a great option! You obviously need some icy pole moulds, but then simply blend your favourite frozen fruits such as banana, strawberries or mango with coconut cream and ice, pour into the moulds and then freeze overnight. Too easy!

Chocolate Cake

A classic chocolate cake that’s vegan? Yes, please! The trick to baking cakes without eggs is to rely on baking soda. When combined with something acidic like vinegar, the mixture bubbles up and creates a light and airy texture. Seriously, just sift together flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, and baking powder in one bowl, combine water, vegetable oil, vanilla and vinegar in another, and then mix together until smooth. Pour in a cake tin and bake until set. Dust it with icing sugar and fresh raspberries and you have one show-stopping dessert that everyone will love!
