Your Guide to Winning Vegan Baking Techniques 🥇

Just like with any other type of baking, there are certain techniques that can make your vegan baking more successful. Here are a few tips:

Top Tips for Successful Vegan Baking

  1. mixing bowl
    Mix dry and wet ingredients separately - This prevents overmixing, which can lead to tough baked goods.
  2. toothpick test baking
    Use a toothpick to check doneness - If it comes out clean, your baked goods are ready.
  3. timer for baking
    Don't overbake! - Vegan baked goods can dry out quickly, so keep a close eye on them.
  4. greasing baking pan
    Grease your pans well - This ensures your delicious creations won't stick to the pan.
