When you think about holidays of days gone by, what are the memories you
cherish most? I remember skating, skiing, snowshoeing, and tobogganing. I
remember reading stories, singing songs, making gingerbread houses, and
decorating. But one of my very favorite holiday pastimes was baking cookies
and other treats with my mom and my grandma. The key ingredients were butter, eggs, sugar,
and white flour. While you can purchase plant-based butter and eggs, they don’t qualify as
whole foods. If you are at a loss as to how to navigate the holiday treat world as a whole food
plant-based eater, check out So Many Cooks in the Kitchen holiday show – it will pave the way
to a world of crave-worthy treats.
So, how do you replace the usual ingredients in baking? While not all potential
replacements work in every recipe, you can experiment on your own or try some well-tested
plant-based offerings. Here are basic guidelines for replacing animal products and highly refined
products in your baking.
