6. Turmeric Lemon Coconut Chia Seed Muffins

For a healthier, and slightly less sugary, baked good, make Vegan Richa’s lemony muffins, which get an added boost of color and health benefits from the addition of turmeric.

Let’s talk about hot cross buns for a sec, shall we? 😊 So, you’ve had them, right? Chances are, they were store bought? And you don’t particularly care for them? 3 for 3? You don’t care for them because you haven’t had the good stuff. I have a recipe that I hope will make you rethink every hot cross bun encounter you’ve ever had (you can find the recipe on my home page!) It’s my take on some amazing bakery hot cross buns I had years ago. If you try them, I hope you like them! And now, after talking about them, I want to make them again 😂

7. Hot Cross Buns

Traditionally eaten during Lent, especially in the week leading up to Easter, hot cross buns have been a staple associated with this holiday for centuries. Veganize these traditional baked goods with Delightful Adventure’s simple recipe.

10. Lemon Blueberry Coffee Cake

Buttery, sweet coffee cake is always a welcome addition to brunch, but this version from Connoisseurus Veg has had a spring makeover thanks to the addition of fresh lemon and blueberries.
