My sister makes really good vegan cupcakes.  Here's an email she sent me about the recipes she likes:


Okay, so here are the two recipes that I make that I use the coconut flour for.  The first is a basic chocolate cupcake.  It contains coconut milk, and calls for almond flour/meal.  Since I'm always making these for your family too, I learned that I can substitue coconut flour whenever a recipe calls for almond meal/flour and it works just fine.  I've used this cupcake as a base for s'mores cupcakes (adding crumbled graham crackers to the batter and doing a marshmallow frosting).  I've also used it for the chocolate orange cupcake, adding a bit of orange juice for part of the liquid called for.

The other one is a basic vanilla cupcake.  Again, the coconut flour is a good sub for the almond meal/flower.  You can add just about anything to this one - fruit, fillings, etc. but it's also just a really nice vanilla cake.  This also has the same combo of soy milk and apple cider vinegar (that I use for red velvet cupcakes) that mimics buttermilk, so it has that nice flavor too.

Those all look great, and if I were doing it at my own home, I'd definitely do the grilled pineapple - it's one of my favorite desserts. 

There's a Whole Foods right next to the place where I'm getting my car serviced later, so I'm going to check out what they have.  I also think that one of my recipes would translate well to vegan if I use coconut milk instead of regular milk, but I'm not too keen to experiment on a crowd.

Thanks everyone!

Jaime Oliver has many vegan recipes on his site.

There's always fruit and cookies. Vegan ice cream. I like this recipe, with syrup rather than honey. Can be reheated or served at room temp.

Also, Whole Foods makes vegan cakes.  :D

My mom is vegan, so when she comes over I always make sure I have some vegan dessert.  My standby is chocolate.  I use Guittard, and I mix it with shredded coconut or Rice Krispies and put in mini muffin liners, or cover pretzels, or make some kind of bark with it.  I have also done wacky cake for her.
