Vegan Irish Soda Bread Recipe

You get a number of breads in the market but, nothing beats the once made at home. As the homemade breads can have healthy as well as fresh ingredients. Although there are several brands in the market that provide vegan breads, you cannot get the taste of the non-vegan variety of breads. But, with the following recipe you will definitely not miss out on having your favorite tasting bread.

In this vegan cookie event, I preferred preparing Irish bread instead of some other dessert is because I have seen some of my friends who couldn’t stay put to being vegan as they couldn’t have a vegan bread of their liking. And, I do not want some newly turned vegan to face the same issue and leave the path of veganism.

How to Prepare Vegan Irish Soda Bread

The original Irish soda bread that you find in the market is not vegan as it contains dairy ingredients like butter and buttermilk along with eggs some times. So, for having a vegan version of Irish soda bread, you have got to make it at home.

With the following yeast-free recipe, you can easily prepare the vegan Irish Soda brand at home within 30 minutes of time. You can have this Irish bread with soup or if you like to have it with some dessert, you can try it out with Bechamel sauce or Maple syrup. So, let’s have a look at the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 5 Cups of All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 & 3/4th Cups of Cruelty-free Milk (I have used soy milk here)
  • 3/4th Cups of Wholegrain Rolled Oats
  • A Pinch of Salt
  • A Pinch of Baking Soda
  • 2 Tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar

Directions

Step 1: Preheat your oven at 430 Degrees Fahrenheit along with the parchment paper that is slightly greased

Step 2: Take a medium-sized bowl, add soy milk and apple cider vinegar, mix them up and keep it aside for 10 minutes, by this it turns thick and works like buttermilk

Step 3: Now, take a large bowl, add baking soda, 3 cups of all-purpose flour and salt and mix them up

Step 4: Prepare a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the mixture prepared in the step 2

Step 5: Now, mix all the ingredients properly, without forming any lumps in it

Step 6: Once the dough is prepared, knead it for a minute or 2 and then prepared small balls out of it. If the dough is too sticky, add some flour to it and make it soft but, the dough shouldn’t get dry, that need to be taken care of. Stickier dough leads to more elastic bread

Step 7: Now, transfer the dough balls into the baking tray and flatten it into a thin disc of around 3 cm height. Cut a deep cross on the top of the bread and pour some flour into it

Step 8: Let it bake for 20-30 minutes at around 430 Degrees Fahrenheit or till it turns out to be crusty from outside

Step 9: Now, transfer it to the cooling rack from 1 hour and then slice it up

You can then use the bread anytime. Keep it at the room temperature and it will last for around 4-5 days. This is a very nutritious recipe. For a nutritious dessert recipe, try out the vegan buckwheat pancake or the vegan date pudding too.

Vegan Buckwheat Pancake Recipe

The most common pancakes are cinnamon pancakes and the buckwheat pancakes. Buckwheat pancakes are the healthiest, vegan and gluten-free one among the most other alternatives of it. Buckwheat gives you fluffy and highly customizable pancakes. You can have it for your brunch, breakfast, snacks or any time of the day with maple syrup poured over it.

You will find a number of pancake mixes in the market. But, they aren’t as healthy and filling as the buckwheat pancakes. These taste quite different from the other pancakes as they are prepared from the buckwheat flour. You can also have them by pouring some vegan custard over it or some Bechamel sauce, both of which enhance the taste of the buckwheat pancakes.

How to Prepare the Buckwheat Pancakes

For the ones who haven’t heard about the term, must be wondering what is buckwheat and how are the pancakes made of it. Here, I will solve all your queries. Buckwheat is a gluten-free seed which as a whole is called buckwheat groats while you can also get them as flour. This buckwheat flour is very healthy as it is high in fiber, requires low amount of sugar to be blended in and have very low amount of carbs in it. This makes our pancakes healthy yet, they are very tasty. Now, Let’s have a look at the recipe of it.

Ingredients

  • 1 & ½ Cups of Buckwheat flour
  • 1 Tsp of Baking powder
  • ¼ Tsp of Baking Soda
  • 1 & ½ Cups of Cruelty-free milk (I have used Almond milk here)
  • 1 Tbsp of Coconut Oil
  • 2 Tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Tsp of Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tbsp of Maple syrup

Directions

Step 1: Take a medium-sized bowl, add almond milk, oil, vanilla extract and maple syrup and keep it aside for some time

Step 2: Now, take another bowl (larger than the previous one), add buckwheat flour, baking powder and baking soda and blend it well

Step 3: Once all the dry ingredients are mixed in the large bowl, make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the mixture prepared in the step 1.

Step 4: Stir and mix all the ingredients together and make sure there are no lumps in the mixture. This will form a slightly thick batter

Step 5: Now, take a pancake griddle and let it warm for a minute with oil under medium flame

Step 6: Now, pour around 1/4th Cup of the prepared pancake mix over the oil and make a round shape of it using your spoon

Step 7: Let it cook on the griddle till the bubbles are formed and then change the side by moving it upside down (in the initial stage it will take around a minute or 2 to heat and when turned upside down, it takes around half a minute)

Step 8: Same form you can prepare pancakes with the rest of the batter and pour in some buttercream over it for kids

You will get around 8-11 pancakes with the above mentioned ingredients. If some of you would like to have something more sweet than you can try out the vegan date pudding or if you want to try out a healthy dessert than you can go for the rhubarb cake.

Vegan Pancake Syrup Recipe

A lot changes while you turn vegan. Honey had a special place in my kitchen because of the number of advantages it offers. But, post turning vegan, I started looking for the alternatives. The closest alternative I found for honey was Maple syrup. I make it at home to have the taste we love to have. You can use this maple syrup in a number recipes including using it as syrup on your pancakes.

This pancake syrup contains low sugar and so has lower amount of calories. This is done by using powdered erythritol in place of sugar. You can have these basic pancakes with the maple syrup for snacks with your tea or coffee or have it at anytime of the day.

How to Prepare Vegan Pancake Syrup

You can prepare your pancake using the pancake mix. I oftenly use Bisquick Pancake mix or prepare a Buckwheat pancake and then pour this vegan maple syrup over those pancakes and enjoy the delight. This pancake syrup recipe is super easy to make with just 4 ingredients. This recipe is not only vegan, but also dairy-free and gluten-free. Let’s have a look at the recipe now.

 Ingredients

  • 1 Cup of Water
  • ½ Cups of Brown Sugar
  • ½ Cups of Normal Sugar
  • ½ Tsp of Maple Extract

Directions

Step 1: Take a small-sized saucepan and let it heat up at medium flame

Step 2: Add water, brown sugar, normal sugar and maple syrup in the hot pan while keeping them in the medium flame level

Step 3: Now, let the syrup boil for some time

Step 4: As the syrup gets thick, take it out of the heat

You can pour the hot syrup on pancake or let it cool and then pour. It is your choice; some people like its hot version while some like warm or cold version of it. If your syrup has cooled down, but you want to have it hot, then you can simply keep it in the microwave for a few minutes and let it heat up. You should not reheat it on the stove as that will make the syrup extra sugary and sweet which might not taste well.

From 1 Tsp of this maple syrup, you get approximately 25 Kcal, no fats or cholesterol, Carbohydrates around 8 grams and sugar in the body, around 8 grams. Maple syrup makes your life easier while you turn vegan and crave for various snacks. I pour my maple syrup over my waffles, cooked sweet potatos, ice creams, date pudding, cupcakes, hot cereal, salad dressings, cooked vegetables and many more.

I find maple syrup as the closest, low-fat, low calorie and vegan substitute to honey. You might find a number of maple syrup brands in the market. But, they might not be as healthy as the one you prepare at home with the above recipe. You can use maple syrup along with vegan custard for a number of vegan dessert recipes.
