Published about 1 year ago • 2 min read

Hi Reader!

In need of some last minute veganized Easter classics this weekend?

I got you covered!! Today I wanted to share a few of Banana reader FAVORITE classic Easter recipes made vegan (and even a few fun new twists!).

So let's get baking:

​

1. One Bowl Vegan Lemon Blueberry Cake

I make this lemon blueberry cake for my family every single year, and it never disappoints. In fact, it's the most popular recipe in my cookbook as well! It's so easy for beginner bakers to make, and the frosting is a dream.

2. Classic Vegan Hot Cross Buns

These soft and fluffy hot cross buns are naturally dairy free and made entirely without eggs- and they're absolutely foolproof! Full of warming spices, citrus and sultanas, these buns are a iconic Easter brunch recipe.

3. Vegan Pane di Pasqua

It wouldn't be Easter without my rendition of my great grandpa's pane di pasqua. Instead of an actual egg, I made a vegan white chocolate one and filled it with sprinkles- super fun for kids!

4. BEST Vegan Carrot Cake

This is honestly the best vegan carrot cake you’ll ever have, and it’s a crowd favorite with even non-vegan eaters. No eggs, no dairy, one bowl, and easily gluten free, this carrot cake is topped with a super lush and a creamy dairy free cream cheese frosting.

5. Quick Pasta Con Broccoli

If you're looking for a quick and easy but still somehow elevated dish to serve for Easter dinner, this pasta con broccoli is it. This recipe uses the simplest pantry ingredients that transform into an incredibly comforting and delicious!!

6. Vegan Carrot Cake Loaf

Want carrot cake, but don't feel like making a whole cake? Then this tender, soft, and deliciously moist carrot cake loaf is the move. It's even topped with vegan cream cheese frosting!

7. Better Than Olive Garden Vegan Gnocchi Soup

This silky and creamy vegan gnocchi soup is packed with herby flavor, pillowy soft gnocchi, and loads of veggies. It's hearty yet also full of fresh veggies, which is perfect for those cooler spring days.

8. Lemon Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

This one went viral on Instagram, and for a very good reason. It's a crumb cake base loaded with lemon zest and fresh blueberries with a ripple of dairy free cream cheese throughout. It gets rave reviews from every non-vegan!

9. Vegan Banana Bread Swirl Cheesecake

This unbelievably vegan banana bread cheesecake is silky and creamy with swirls of the best banana bread baked into a custard-like banana cheesecake batter. It’s the best of banana bread and cheesecake combined- but no eggs and no dairy!

10. Warm Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Lentils

his warm roasted sweet potato lentil salad is a super simple quick sheet pan dinner tossed in a 2 minute roasted garlic tahini dressing, chopped almonds, and fresh parsley. A wonderful side or main!

You can find 50+ more classic Easter recipes made vegan in my whole Easter round-up! Enjoy!!

Lots of love and warm hugs,

Britt

P.S. I also just shared these AMAZING vegan almond croissants on Instagram with a whole step-by-step on how to make them, and we'll be making them again on Friday. I literally can't wait.
