Preheat the oven to 360° F. Add all almond filling/marzipan ingredients into a food processor and blend until you get a very smooth mixture (2–3 minutes, depending on your food processor). Roll out a puff pastry sheet and cut it into long triangles (from the long side). Add a spoonful of the almond filling you made above to the bottom of the wider side of the long triangle. Roll over the triangle from the bottom (making sure the spoonful of almond filling is encapsulated. Seal the ends and roll the whole triangle in. Then bend the ends inwards to get the typical croissant shape. Repeat with the other triangles.

In a medium bowl, whisk together almond butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Whisk until it resembles caramel.
¼ cup almond butter
Add cocoa powder in ¼ cup increments, whisking until shiny and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add in almond extract and salt. Stir just a few times to gently incorporate. Add flax eggs in, whisking until well incorporated. In thirds, whisk in the flour. As the batter gets harder to whisk, switch to folding with a rubber spatula. Fold until well incorporated and no flour patches remain.

method
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, almond milk, vanilla, sugar and oil. Mix the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Then fold in the carrots and stir the mixture until combined. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cake cool completely before frosting. To make the frosting, combine all frosting ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend until very smooth for 1–2 minutes or more, scraping down the sides occasionally. You can add an extra tablespoon of almond milk if necessary to get your blade moving. Chill for at least 30 minutes before spreading (It will firm up a bit). Lastly, sprinkle ground walnuts on top of the frosting before serving.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a round cake pan with vegan butter or coconut butter. Warm almond milk in a small sauce pan over medium to low heat. When the milk is warm add the vegan butter or coconut butter and stir until it’s completely melted.
ingredients
Remove milk from the stove top and whisk the yeast into the milk mixture, then whisk in the sugar and salt. Keep whisking until it begins to foam. Pour milk and yeast mixture into a large bowl and hand stir the flour into the mixture until it forms a ball. It will be slightly sticky.
1 teaspoon salt
Knead the dough for one minute and roll it back into a ball. Put it in the cake pan, cover with a clean towel, and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
4 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons baking powder 1 cup cubed vegan butter 1 1/3 cup almond milk 1/4 cup vegan butter

method
1 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 cup powdered sugar 2 tablespoons vegan butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
When the dough has risen roll it our flat on a clean non-stick surface and brush it with one tablespoon of melted vegan butter or coconut butter. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Roll the long side up and sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar. Use a serrated knife and gently slice into two inch pieces. Bake until golden brown. Mix the powdered sugar, vegan butter, vanilla extract and the almond milk together until it’s thin enough to drizzle over the rolls. Add more milk if it’s not thick enough or more sugar if it’s too thin.

method Heat the oven to 350°F. Place a piece of parchment over a baking sheet, or lightly oil a baking sheet.
ingredients 1 tablespoon ground flax 3 tablespoons water 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup vegan butter 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup chocolate chips
Combine the flax seed and water in a small bowl. Set aside. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Place the room-temperature butter (I place the cold butter in the microwave for about 20 seconds) in another bowl. Add the sugars and whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes. It should become light and fluffy and be a light beige color. Add the flax mixture and the vanilla to the butter mix, and whisk well until combined. Add the flour mix to the butter mixture and stir together with a rubber spatula or wood spoon just until combined. Add the chocolate chips and gently fold into the batter. Drop by the heaping tablespoon onto the baking sheet. Bake for 12–14 minutes, rotating once, until just barely beginning to brown on the bottom. They will look underdone on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool 10 minutes before serving.

ingredients 2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 cup organic cane sugar 1/2 cup coconut oil 3/4 cup almond milk 1/2 cup dried cranberries 2 navel oranges (zest) 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1 tablespoon coconut oil 2 teaspoons sugar 2 cups powdered sugar 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and whisk together. Add solid coconut oil to bowl and using a pastry cutter, cut the coconut oil into the dry ingredients until the mixture begins to form fine crumbs (it will look like wet sand). Stir in the cranberries and orange zest, then add almond milk to the flour mixture and stir until the mixture forms a soft dough and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a parchment lined cooking sheet sprinkled with flour and shape into a circle, 7–8 inches wide and 1/2 an inch thick. Cut into 8 triangles and gently separate scones, giving them enough room to spread out as they bake. Brush scones with melted coconut oil and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and edges begin to brown. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Mix the powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Add almond milk until desired consistency is reached. When scones cool add drizzle.

Whisk together soy milk and vinegar and set aside to curdle, about 5–10 minutes. Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into large bowl and mix. Add the oil, food coloring, chocolate extract, and almond extract to the curdled soy milk. Whisk well to combine. Gently fold wet ingredients into dry, mixing until large lumps disappear. Fill cupcake liners about two-thirds full (these cupcakes will rise fairly high). Place in preheated oven and bake 18–20 minutes, but be sure not to over bake. When done, let cool for a few minutes then transfer cupcakes to cooling rack to cool completely. Add all frosting ingredients to your mixing bowl and whisk with an electric whisk starting on slow and gradually increasing speed until thick, smooth and creamy. If your frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar, if it’s too thick, add a little extra soy milk. Finally, add frosting to cupcakes before serving.
