5 Vegan Easter Treats that will Blow Away Your Bunny Ears

April 9, 2020 By julia

Easter was a huge deal when I was a kidlet.

Painted Easter Eggs, a string to follow that would lead me to the hidden chocolates under the couch and behind pillows, then a big kids Easter Egg hunt all over the forest with one mega, sought after chocolate bunny prize.

Why that doesn’t happen on Easter day anymore as a young at heart adult? I DON’T KNOW. Bring it back, please. When did we all grow up and think we’ve outgrown easter egg hunting? We’re all kids at heart, and that kinda stuff should continue on whether it’s for the new generation of kids, or just for yourself. Because you deserve to be a kid always, and forever.

Anyways… I thought I’d bring some Vegan Easter Treats to you that will complete your weekend  from some of my favourite veganista blogerellas. Hopefully this brings some nostalgia back to your Easter, or at least amps it up with a bit more deliciousness.

Peanut Better Balls  by Oh She Glows

Why I love em’:

  • 7 ingredients
  • Taste like Reeces pieces
  • Finger food heaven

Vegan Chocolate Creme Eggs by It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken

Why I love em’:

  • Just look at the creamy rainbow falling out of them!
  • They’re just fun.
  • Just like Cabury MINUS the dairy
  • Playful and perfect for making with the kids

Vegan Easter Cookies by Vegan Family Recipes

Why I love em’:

  • They’re coloured with turmeric, beet and matcha powder
  • They’re totally dip-able
  • They’re ready in 20
  • They wake up the creative side, and I’d most def’ be making them with my Grandma if she made a visit this weekend

Cashew Cream Egg by Nest and Glow

Why I love em’:

  • They’re on the healthier side (so we can all eat more)
  • Look how pretty they are!

Vegan Sachertorte by Moi and Mom

Why I love it:

  • A fool proof, dense, chocolate cake that is loved by all every time
  • It’s chocolate heaven
  • It’s ridiculously easy

ok…NOW I’M DROOLING.

Are you?

Here’s a few more Egg-y and Chocolate-y tips:

  1. Check out Pamela Fergusson’s blog post for a dozen things you need to know about eggs (this will enlighten you about the reasons why I steer clear of them…even on Easter)
  2. Ready to eat vegan Easter answers:
  • Sjaaks makes delicious vegan chocolates (even white chocolate!)
  • Vegan Supply online store has a ton of options.
  • Here are some great chocolate egg molds for the kitchen.
  • These No Why No No’s are pretty dang delicious.
  • I’m pretty in love with these Justin’s Peanut Butter Cups.

If you make any of these, tag me and the blogger so we can see your creations!

Happy Easter.

🌱 Nutrient bomb: Broccoli sprouts can pack 20–50x more cancer fighting sulforaphane than ‘normal’  broccoli 🥦 (that’s the compound linked to cancer prevention and detox support)

🌱 Tiny vitamin factory: Sprouting can increase vitamin C content by up to 600%, making them a natural immunity booster.

Randomness in life. Diversity on the plate. And ye Randomness in life. Diversity on the plate. And yes—dance breaks. All equally essential.

The more your plate looks like a rainbow, the better. 🌈

What’s the last random plant you ate?

Every time you bring a new fruit, veggie, grain, legume, tuber, seed, or nut to the table, your microbes throw a little party.

Keep it fresh, keep it varied, throw a plant party for your biome—and let those microbes flourish & help you thrive.
