J’aime la galette

Yet another delicious recipe from VeganomiconTo be honest I had no clue what a galette was.  Apparently its a thin, freeform pie.  Although, mine aren't exactly freeform...they're in the shape of a heart

Jelly Donut Cupcakes

My next baking adventure was a jelly donut..cupcake style.  First of all I would like to give a huge thanks to Madeline Krisko for letting me borrow Veganomicon.  It is an amazing vegan cookbook and it just so happens to be where I found this delicious recipe.

we want s'more!

For my first vegan baking experiment I decided to make s'mores cupcakes.  It was a bit of a rough start.  I accidentally knocked over a tub of flour...


Emma loved it : )


I used the s'mores cupcake recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.  However, my first batch came out a little oily for my taste.  For the next batch I halved the oil and used unsweetened applesauce for the rest.  I also decreased the amount of molasses. 


I ♥ Cupcake Wrappers


I topped the cupcakes with a super tasty and simple chocolate ganache recipe from The Conscious Kitchen.  This is one of my absolute favorite vegan food blogs.  


After the ganache cooled, I topped them off with a "buttercream" frosting, some graham cracker crumbs, and a little shaved chocolate.  Unfortunately they disappeared before I could take a picture of the finished product.  I will definitely be making them again soon.


 Let's just pretend this is what they looked like : )
