Plant-Based Baking
Plant-Based Baking refers to the practice of creating baked goods using ingredients derived from plants, avoiding animal products like eggs, milk, and butter. Common substitutes include applesauce, banana, or flaxseed for eggs, and coconut oil or nut butters for fats. This approach caters to those following vegan diets or seeking healthier alternatives.
In addition to being cruelty-free, plant-based baking often emphasizes whole ingredients, such as whole grains, nuts, and seeds. These ingredients can enhance the nutritional profile of baked goods, providing more fiber, vitamins, and minerals compared to traditional recipes.
