Thanks for watching! I hope this video help you to master vegan baking just like I have. Have you tried any of these vegan baking expert tips for baking without eggs and milk? Do you have any tips that you thought worked out for you that I didn't include?
I'll be honest. I'm not a vegan. However, I'm not afraid to explore. Last weekend, for grins 'n giggles, I veganised a waffle recipe. I subbed flax eggs for the yolks, and aquafaba for the eggwhites. It worked a treat
I’m new to baking. This year I set a goal to learn baking, more importantly vegan and preferably free of refined sugar. In three months, I have learned basics of “why” in vegan ingredients, replaced frustration with curiosity. Now I have come up with three of my own recipes once I learned how ingredients interact in baking. I’m loving my baking failures more than successes, because failures leave me curious to keep trying. Most of my failed recipes were from bakers with glorious websites and with good reviews that they responded to, they don’t respond to my comments or questions when the recipe fails despite following instructions. I like your humility. Thanks for being empathetic.
Thank you for sharing! I'm a longtime vegetarian but new vegan and literally cried over a bad brownie bake this morning. I just subscribed and can't wait to watch your other videos! I love your philosophy of delicious food that just so happens to be vegan!
Oh no! Been there, done that but it's really just all about practice. Soon enough those tears will be a thing of the past and you'll be baking only delicious and amazing things :) If there are any specific questions you have, please let me know so I can tackle them in future videos. Hoping I can help as much as I can!
I love this video! Informative and hilarious. Instead of veganizing recipes, I use already-vegan recipes in vegan baking books. My two favorite authors are Fran Costigan and Isa Moskowitz.
This video rings so true. I like my cake nice & fluffy. Banana doesn’t do it for me as an egg replacer or as a binder. If anything it makes my chocolate cake super dense. However, i do take some tips from Chef AJ to make healthier dessert.
I agree on what kind of baker are you, making it "healthy" or making it vegan. To me ,dessert is a treat. If it is healthy too that's fine, it's a bonus, but I'm all about the treat.
Yup. Great tips. It is important to figure out what ingredients are doing. I recently talked about this when making egg pasta without eggs. Thanks for the excellent insight.
I’m not a vegan (though I try to cut meat and such) but I’ve been asked to help with baking at a vegan wedding for my SIL. This video was very helpful! Thank you so much I’m here because I want to test test test 🤙🏽
I’ve been vegan for about 13 years now and I’ve had a a couple dozen amazing vegan pastries across America, so I know they’re possible, but their techniques seem secretive because I haven’t been able to figure them out until I started getting frustrated and experimenting on my own. This video reminds me of the frustration, but also reminds me it’s not just my frustration, nor are the great vegan pastries out of reach.
Good video! I think a mindset shift is very important to getting on the path of developing good recipes and becoming a competent baker. It is very easy to get frustrated, but stepping back and looking at the "why" is so important! The other day, I was developing a recipe for Blueberry cake. After my second attempt, I finally realized that the pureed blueberries I added to the cake were adding some acidity and moisture, so I added a little more baking soda to help balance out the pH and I cut the milk amount down a touch. As a result, I got a better rise from my baking powder and soda and a less runny batter. Worked like a charm. If I didn't think about what to change or examine each ingredient for what it contributed for the cake, I wouldn't have arrived to that conclusion and end product! Thanks for sharing these very good tips!
YEEESSS! Omg that is exactly what I try to get people to understand all the time. It's not as simple as take one thing out, add another one in. You have to understand the chemical reaction that's happening when you bake so you can fix it properly. It's not always easy but it's the only way. Glad to hear the blueberry cake came out in the end! :)
I just discovered your chanel through this video and I'm SOOOOOO excited. I'm getting back at baking (I quit when I turned vegan 5 years ago and got frustated with tasteless cakes). This is the first time I come across an english-speaking channel so technical about baking, and this is so promising. I'm trying to learn from Bérénice Leconte (author of "Patisserie Vegan" and founder of VG Patisserie, first ever vegan baking shop in Paris) and so far so good. Can't wait to learn more tips for you, I just want to binge all of your videos !
I'm so glad you found me too! I started this channel because I couldn't find anyone giving this kind of technical explanation and it was driving me crazy. I had to figure it all out on my own so hopefully others don't have to by watching my videos :) If you have any specific subject or recipe you'd like to see in the future, just let me know!
Holy 🤬! This video was EVERYTHING! This is the first video of yours that I’ve ever watched and I’m immediately hooked. I love your authenticity and honesty and you think just like me… Even down to wanting to own a vegan restaurant without experience 🥴 hence why I searched what I searched and found this video. There’s no coincidences that big. All I can say is Thank You! Edit: ok, I just watched another of your “expert tip” videos and I have to tell you, these videos are flaring up my anxiety big time. I need you to title these types of videos “research tips”. There’s no answers past, “do your research”. I stumbled on this video while “researching” and the answer is to research! 🤦🏽♀️ You’re killing me girl! 🤣 I’m about to watch another video but had to come back and say that.
Hi Natalia, I’m so happy I found you in my hometown! You’re desserts are incredibly delectable! You are so funny and enjoyable to watch and I’m learning some great tips (no more mashed banana!)! Thank you!
Aww thanks so much! I'm glad you're liking the videos. If there's anything specific you'd like me to answer, please let me know! And if you're ever at one of the local pop up events, please make sure to say hi! :)
Thank you for sharing this! My wife has a gene mutation that makes cooking for her difficult. I have been searching for some sound advice, and thought I'm not vegan and probably never will be, I do take cooking seriously. I face the additional challenge of baking with a wood stove at a high elevation, so I appreciate sound information. Again, thank you so very much.
I just subscribed. I can concur that unless I’m making banana 🍌 bread, muffins, or pancakes, Bananas 🍌 will fail miserably as an egg substitute! I’ve been taking my plant based cooking more seriously and also had to search out the way of ingredients. My baking has improved. Thank you for the informative and honest video!
Just subscribed. I’m excited to learn more about vegan baking and planning on have a vegan options in a home bakery I plan to have next year. Thanks for the tips and great insight!
How exciting! Thanks for subscribing. If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out. Starting a home bakery is not for the faint of heart but it's worth it if you love it! :)
Just subbed! Thank you for the tips ❤️ Two TH-camrs I love for culinary science are SauceStache and RainbowPlantLife. SauceStache is all about replicating meat textures and flavors, RainbowPlantLife is a bit of a mix (her vegan Instant Pot cookbook helped kickstart my culinary journey!). Looking forward to more content from you!
Yay! So glad you found me! I will definitely check those 2 out and if there's anything you'd like to see me cover in future videos, please let me know!
@@CuriousCatBakery I'm late, but have you tried Rainbow Plant Life's vegan Brownies? th-cam.com/video/-xDFxbTWbxU/w-d-xo.html They are THE BEST! In this recipe Nisha works with Aqua faba as an egg replacement.
This is a great video!! Understanding the why is soo soo important I love that it was the first tip. One of my personal favourite substitutes for a light an fluffy cake/ cupcake is soda water! It kinda sounds like you have a bit of a vendetta with banana- though completely understandable, there are many better subs out there
haha a banana vendetta sounds like the silliest thing on the planet but I guess I really do have one! I guess I'm just traumatized by all the awful recipes I tried when I was first starting out that would use a banana as a replacer. I actually have never used soda water but I've been meaning to try it! I love baking soda and vinegar. Maybe I'll do another video comparing both...
What a fantastic video! Great tips, and an awesome attitude toward the struggle that vegan baking can definitely be. Definitely about to binge the rest of your videos. So glad I stumbled upon your channel. Thanks for the content, and keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for this video. I do love bananas, I do not always want it to dominate everything. So thank you. I am looking forward to putting all these tips into practise.
@@CuriousCatBakery Hii :) yes please. I'm in the middle of registering my kitchen and want to start my vegan dessert business, So I am binge watching your videos. Can you please do a video on substitutes for milk powder and condensed milk? I want to include some Indian sweets in my menu and most Indian sweets consists of milk and butter.
@@nishamasih8469 How exciting! I'm glad I can help. I haven't used any milk powder substitutes but have experimented with condensed milk so I'll add that to the video ideas list!
So glad I could help! Make sure you check out the Vegan Baking for Beginners playlist next. That should get you on your way and out of the struggle zone!
I wish I had discovered you back when I became vegan!!! So many bad baking videos out there…so many failed attempts. My go to for cake recipes has been Gretchen’s Vegan Bakery. I used to follow her before I went vegan. She went vegan, and veganized all of her bakery recipes. Some honorable mentions…Nora Cooks, Connoisseurus Veg, and the Viet Vegan for her sourdough recipe.
😂 haha there are just so many better options out there! Have you had any success with bananas? I personally have just not had any of the banana recipes turn out without tasting like bananas haha
Could be a few things! I’ll make a video in the future addressing this question because it’s so frequent. My first guess is that you’re using a bad egg replacer.
Yes! So many internet vegan 'bakers' out there offer shit recipes and half the reviews are like, why did my cake turn out so heavy - well, the 'baker' responds, you probably used the wrong flour or stirred it too long. No!
Thanks for watching! I hope this video help you to master vegan baking just like I have. Have you tried any of these vegan baking expert tips for baking without eggs and milk? Do you have any tips that you thought worked out for you that I didn't include?
No advice but your amazing!
WHAT ABOUT APPLESAUSE, FOR A 🎂
CAKE? INSTEAD OF EGG. I'm vegan for the Animals....
I'll be honest.
I'm not a vegan.
However, I'm not afraid to explore.
Last weekend, for grins 'n giggles, I veganised a waffle recipe.
I subbed flax eggs for the yolks, and aquafaba for the eggwhites. It worked a treat
I watch and follow and actually am a pateon of Gretchens Vegan Bakery. Just found you!!

Wow. Thank you. I have been "suffering" so much in the kitchen with a Vegan vanilla cake. You have opened my eyes. Oh my soul. Thank you.

Mary’s test kitchen, viet vegan, the Korean vegan, rainbow plant life are all amazing! Just to name a few :)
Banana is my favorite replacement for pancakes
Aquafaba which was discovered a few years ago was a game changer for vegan baking.
Yup. Great tips. It is important to figure out what ingredients are doing. I recently talked about this when making egg pasta without eggs. Thanks for the excellent insight.

Hey quick question my cakes never seem to be fluffy they always come out thin and crunchy
Could be a few things! I’ll make a video in the future addressing this question because it’s so frequent. My first guess is that you’re using a bad egg replacer.
So how do you replace an egg 🥚 without being a banana 🍌?
Yes! So many internet vegan 'bakers' out there offer shit recipes and half the reviews are like, why did my cake turn out so heavy - well, the 'baker' responds, you probably used the wrong flour or stirred it too long. No!
haha Yep, so frustrating!
Can croissants be made vegan?
They sure can! I make them every day! Check out my Instagram @curiouscatbakery and you’ll see :)
I love the recipes from bianca zapatka
I'll have to check her out! Thanks!
Make it dairy free
Andrew Bernard
Good tasting vegan channels
I love the “look delicious, taste delicious and definitely do not taste vegan” 😂😂😂 self sabotage for vegans 😅
lol @ tasted like a shoe!!
I wonder if her veganism comes from a place of intolerance to the ingredients or just because it is trendy.
Please get to the point next time.
