…Plain-Jane Vegan Vanilla Mini Gluten-Free Bundt Cakes…

I made 6 mini bundt cakes. They are plain, so you can dress them however you want. Jam, chocolate syrup, frosting, ice cream…. whatevs. They are so cute and adorable. I almost don’t want to eat them. Almost.

 

1 1/2 cup rice flour

1/4 cup coconut palm sugar

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp pink salt

1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum

1/4 cup brown rice syrup

1/4 cup agave nectar

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 tsp vanilla

4 tbsp water + 1 tbsp cornstarch, dissolved

 

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour little bundt pans. Mine are about 3 inches in diameter, and this recipe made about 6. You can cook it in a regular bundt or cake pan, but the cooking time will be a little longer.

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, mix well. In a separate large bowl, combine all the wet ingredients, mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 2 batches. Spoon into little pans. Use the spoon to make sure the batter in distributed evenly in the pan. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. Cake will be firm to touch and golden brown when cooked.

These are so cute…. and we all know… you are what you eat!!!!! I have a really cute bundt.

Swag on tight with a Vegan lean

Everyday I wake up and put on that vegan swag. Homemade shirts, recycled skirts, hand me down pants, yard sale shoes, thrift store jackets. Pretty much everything in my apartment from what I wear to what I sit on was purchased for under 20 bucks at a yard sale. It’s true, you cant buy everything used (underwear, socks, toothbrush unfortunately you have to buy some things new) but everything I can, I buy used. I decorate my pad with vegan swag: mellow, peaceful and full of love. That’s what vegan is. Vegan swag tells the world how much you love and care about this planet and every living thing that dwells on it.

I put on my vegan swag everyday, knowing that it carries a message, and chances are someone is going to ask me about my swag. And each time that happens, it is an opportunity to share with people how rad vegan swag is. From my vegan puppy with an organic hemp leash to my recycled vegan shoes and yard sale t shirts, it’s all about vegan swag, reducing your impact and leaving a tinier footprint. It’s not often that case that bigger is not always better, but when it comes to vegan swag, less is more. Less stuff, less chemicals, less ingredients, less shopping, less green house gases. Only buy shit new if you have to. Don’t buy shit if you dont need it. Don’t buy shit that is comes wrapped in shitloads of plastic. Get a water bottle and use it.

Stay fresh. Eat your vegetables.
