Vegan Chocolate Cake
Chocolate cake is a dessert that has stood by the test of time and has been the most loved and comforting dessert for centuries. If you want to get a taste of it, start by whipping the basic ingredients of a chocolate cake, like flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder. Once the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed, gradually add the mixture of wet ingredients, including plant-based milk and peanut butter. While you set it to bake in an OTG oven, you can prepare a coconut frosting and make the most of your vegan dessert.
Strawberry Cheesecake
A freshly baked strawberry cheesecake is no less than elegance served on a plate. First, preheat your Usha OTG and then you can start making the batter by prebaking the crust made with the classic Graham crackers. You can mix strawberry compote, almond or any vegan cream cheese, and sugar. Transfer the filling to the baking pan and bake it to perfection. Top it off with slices of strawberry and serve your fruity cheesecake.
Apple Crisps
Apple crisps are a healthier choice for desserts that can be made quickly without requiring an extensive list of ingredients. For starters, take an apple, and slice it evenly. Now, add the slices in a bowl with sugar and cinnamon and coat the apple slices. In a separate bowl, take flour, oats, sugar, and some melted vegan butter and mix them together. Next, take the slices, give them a final coat of this mixture, and set them on a baking tray on butter paper. Wait for twenty minutes, let the Usha OTG do its magic, and you’ll have the delicious apple crisps ready.
Gingerbread Cookies
There’s no point in waiting for a festive season to bake Gingerbread cookies when you can have them right now! To make these vegan-friendly and nostalgic cookies, whisk the dry ingredients first, like flour, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Then, gradually add the wet ingredients like almond milk, vegan butter, and molasses and keep whisking. Knead them together and then roll out the dough. You can either bake the cookies in circles or in festive shapes. Once baked, let them cool down, and then you get a canvas to decorate with icing, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles.
Eggless Banana Cake
Another option for vegans is to make a soft banana cake. You can start by preheating the oven and prepping a baking pan. Then, you can make a batter by mixing almond milk, plant-based yoghurt, maida, baking powder, baking soda, and some sugar. Once you get a consistent batter, add mashed bananas and vanilla essence. All that’s left is to bake in Usha’s OTG for about half an hour, and your fluffy cake will be ready.
Vegan Chocolate Brownies
Who doesn’t enjoy a gooey brownie? To make your favourite dessert align with a vegan diet, you can leave the eggs and use lots of coconut oil to make the brownie richer. Usually, brownies are made with milk chocolate, but dairy-free dark chocolate offers a bold flavour with fewer calories. While the Usha OTG preheats, mix almond milk, coconut oil, jaggery, cocoa powder, chocolate, and vanilla essence. Bake for about half an hour and enjoy.
