Our recipe for vegan egg bites in the Instant Pot is so easy, and delicious! For weeks we searched for the holy grail of vegan egg recipes: a recipe for vegan egg bites in the Instant Pot. Not finding any, we decided to experiment on our own, and after several less-than-spectactular results, by George, we’d done it – this is a recipe for vegan egg bites in the Instant Pot that is not only delicious, it’s ridiculously easy! In fact it took us way longer to type this up than it did to make the vegan egg bites!

This delectable Instant Pot Gluten-free Vegan Apple Cinnamon Pecan Oatmeal is warm with delicious spices that will brighten up the start of your day. This recipe uses steel cut oats, which have more fiber and an amazing slightly crunchy texture. Quick cooking and old-fashioned oats are not the same, and will cook differently – if you choose one of these the time needs to be decreased. The steel cut “groats” are chewier and take longer to cook.

This tasty breakfast porridge is a yummy spin on traditional oatmeal – the texture and flavors will add variety to your morning meal!

Morning glory muffins have been a favorite of ours for many years. This recipe utilizes your favorite vegan and gluten-free ingredients!

Normally, we think of pancakes as a morning food. However, these garbanzo flour-based pancakes are so rich that you can enjoy them at any time of day. They’re great for dinner! At the same time, they’re perfect for these slowly warming, almost-spring days, since they’re light and buoyant. You can make the pancakes in less than twenty minutes. They’re inexpensive and easy to prepare, and we hope you love them as much as we do.

Nothing is more festive than cranberries, yet we often don’t use these tart little fruits for anything except sauce. (We’re going to assume that you eschew canned cranberries entirely. If not, we don’t want to know about it 🙂 ). When you finish making your own sauce from scratch, you may have berries left over. What to do with them? Of course, you can also buy fresh cranberries specifically to make this wonderful applesauce cranberry bread!

We’ve recently been singing the praises of the Conscious Cleanse, the cleansing program that aims to not only cleanse the body, but also the mind.

I’ve been getting into brown rice lately, a lot. Ever since I learned to prepare rice in the following method in my rice cooker, I have a big batch of it ready cooked and ready to use, in the fridge. It’s wonderful. I love brown rice, warm with sesame seeds and sea salt sprinkled over it, cold tossed into salads, and for breakfast. The following is a very easy way to eat brown rice as a warm cereal in the morning. It’s delicious, and has no added sugar!

Vegan breakfast sausage isn’t hard to find, but gluten-free vegan breakfast sausage, not so much. This recipe for vegan gluten-free sausage fixes that.

With yesterday’s recipe on vegan, gluten-free ginger ale, we thought we needed a light little snack to go with it!

Now that we are headed into summer, farmers markets and other organic markets are brimming with beautiful vibrant berries at the peak of perfect flavor. This dish is served cold from the refrigerator and so is perfect on a hot day for a refreshing treat. This dish is from one of our favorite recipe books, Raw for Dessert by Jennifer Cornbleet

It’s Cinco de Mayo week here at the Happy Gluten Free Vegan and we are so excited to start making some delicious vegan, gluten-free mexican food! Mexican fare is often the staple of those who are newly vegan and/or gluten-free because it is one of the easiest cuisines to eat when following this dietary lifestyle. With a base of corn, rather than flour, and plenty of delicious veggies and spices as the mainstay of their dishes, it is the perfect option for the conscious consumer.

One of the toughest dietary lifestyles to lead is that of the gluten-free vegan; but perhaps tougher is if it is not you leading that lifestyle, but your child having to do so out of necessity. One of our close friends recently had to switch her child to a dairy-free, gluten free diet due to allergies and is now finding herself having to rethink the entire way she prepares food. While many who are vegan and gluten free by choice were able to make a gradual switch to the diet as they learned more about how to cook within the guidelines, people who suddenly have to switch because of dietary issues with their kids are often left scrambling for diet-appropriate foods that will also be kid-approved.

Mother’s day is one of the most popular “breakfast-in-bed” holidays, and mothers everywhere will wake to delicious treats in the comfort of their own bedrooms. If you are looking for something fantastic to make the gluten free, vegan mama in your life, we have the perfect dish for you! Straight from one of our favorite cookbooks, Quick & Easy Vegan Celebrations, this delicious frittata is made with silken tofu instead of egg, and features a colorful bouquet of drool-inducing vegetables and spices.

You are going to love this recipe for red potato cakes, augmented with tomato and spinach! First, let’s clear up that the potato cakes aren’t red, it’s called “red potato cakes” because the recipe calls for new (i.e. baby) red potatoes. But you can really use any new potatoes, and in fact we think purple new potatoes make it look pretty cool!
