3 easy and delicious vegan recipes!

Being vegan can sometimes seem overwhelming especially when deciding what to eat, but with these 3 easy recipes everyday meals really couldn’t get any tastier.

I have picked 3 of my personal favourite recipes that taste fantastic and really are quick and easy.

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/2 cup of plain chocolate chips, blueberries or crushed nuts

﻿

INSTRUCTIONS

1) place oats inside a blender and process until a flour is reached.

2) Add in the remaining ingredients and blend until a smooth batter is formed.

3) Heat a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat, use a ladle to pour equal amounts of batter into the pan.

4) Let the pancakes cook until bubbles start to appear around the edges, then flip and leave to cook until the pancakes are golden brown.

DINNER

﻿

COURGETTE AND LEMON LINGUINE

﻿

INGREDIENTS

﻿

400g linguine

3 courgettes, coarsely grated

3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to drizzle

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

zest 1 unwaxed lemon

large pinch crushed chillies

handful basil leaves, torn

﻿

INSTRUCTIONS

﻿

1) Cook the linguine following the pack instructions, then drain quickly so some cooking water is still clinging to the strands.

﻿

2) Tip back into the cooking pan with the grated courgettes, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, chillies and most of the basil. Season generously, then use tongs to toss everything together. Scatter with remaining basil leaves and add an extra drizzle of oil, if you like.

﻿

Recipe Tip

SERVE IT COLD

This also makes a great pasta salad to serve with grilled tofu or other meat substitute Just swap the linguine for a pasta shape like penne or fusilli, drain well, then mix with the other ingredients and cool before serving – the pasta will absorb the flavours while it cools.
