200g Haferflocken
4T maple syrup
pinch Salz
2T Sunflower Oil
750ml Wasser
Plus spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.

  • Blend in blender. The milk is done, store in the fridge. 
Total: 800ml, 28g protein

Mango yogurt

By Dieter

1 mango (cut into pieces) / Mango (kleingeschnitten)

General instructions for finishing the yogurt
  • Warm the oven so that it gets to 40C (if it is warm outside, you can put the containers outside)
  • Use sealable glass containers and place them in the oven to get warmed up
  • Let the pot cool to about 40C and then pour the pot contents into the containers
  • Keep the containers in the warm oven for 24 hours (turn the oven on every so often to keep the temperature around 40C)
  • VARIATIONS: replace sunflower oil with coconut butter and the yogurt will taste like a piña colada

Linda's 5 minute fudge

transcribed by Kathy 50 years ago from aunt Linda's recipe that she probably got from a Nestle chocolate chip bag, modified by Corina in 2022 to be vegan

2/3 C Oatley cream or coconut cream
1 2/3 C sugar
2T margarine

Combine in a pan and boil for 4 min and then add...
2 C vegan marshmallows
and stir until melted

Remove from heat and add...
1 1/2 C chocolate chips
1t vanilla

Stir until uniformly brown and mixed. Put into an 8x8 inch baking pan and press down to make it an even height. Wait a few minutes so it can harden a bit, then cut into squares
Kathy's original transcription is still going strong!

Peanut butter chocolate balls

recipe by the Portland Co-op and modified by Corina

The peanut part: 

  • 1/3 to ½ C vegan margarine
  • ~1/2 C Peanut butter
  • ¾ C Flour
  • 1 C sugar
  • Cookie crumbs (optional)

Melt margarine, add peanut butter and melt together. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until it becomes kind of doughy. 


Place pieces of the dough on pieces of chocolate (like the chocolate is a mini plate) and refrigerate until firm - OR - drop balls on a plate and drizzle melted chocolate dripped over the top (melt margarine, stir in chocolate chips until melted).

Tiramisu


Based on a recipe of Chef Chloe https://chefchloe.com/recipes/sweets/tiramisu.html




1/2 cup soya flour / Soyamehl
1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
1/2 cup flour / Mehl
1 cup sugar / Zucker
1/2 table spoon baking powder / Backpulver
1/2 table spoon salt / Salz

3/4 cup water / Wasser
1/2 cup sunflower oil / Öl
2 table spoons marzipan / Marzipan
1 table spoon vinegar / Essig

Mix the solid ingredients in a baking tray. We went for the higher protein option, the original recipe uses 1.5 cups of plain flour. Add the liquid ingredients and blend together. Bake at 180C/350F for 45 minutes. We like the cake to be crispy, if you prefer the softer option (as in the original recipe), bake for a shorter amount of time. Cut the cake into small cubes, and place 2/3 of them into the bottom of a new baking pan.

Vermische die festen Zutaten in einer ofenfesten Form. Wir haben uns für eine Version mit höherem Eiweissgehalt entschieden, im Originalrezept werden stattdessen 1.5 Tassen Mehl benutzt. Giesse die flüssigen Zutaten hinzu und mixe alles gut zusammen. Backe bei 180C/350F für 45 Minuten. Wir mögen unseren Kuchen knusprig, für die weichere Option (wie im Originalrezept), backe den Kuchen für weniger Zeit. Schneide den fertigen Kuchen in kleine Quadrate, und streue 2/3 dieser in den Boden einer neuen Kuchenform.


1/2 cup chocolate Oatley / Hafer-Schokoladen-Trink
3 tea spoons cocoa powder / Kakaopulver
1 package rum flavoring / Back-Rum

We do not like coffee, so we went with the bitter cocoa instead. Stir well so that the cocoa powder dissolves. Pour over the cake cubes in the new baking pan.

Wir mögen keinen Espresso, daher benutzen wir die bittere Schokolade. Vermische alles gut bis das Kakaopulver aufgelöst ist. Giesse diese Mischung über die Kuchenstücke in der neuen Kuchenform.


2 packs coconut cream (chilled in the freezer while the cake is baking) / Kokosnussmilch (gekühlt in der Tiefkühltruhe während der Kuchen im Ofen ist)
2 table spoons natural soya yoghurt / einfacher Soyajoghurt
2 table spoons icing sugar / Puderzucker

We did not care as much to get the cream to be solid. We did have it in the freezer first, and did pour most of the coconut water away before mixing it with the yogurt and the icing sugar. The yoghurt does give it a bit more consistency and we like that it tones down the coconut flavour. After mixing it together, pour 3/4 over the drenched cake cubes in the new baking pan. Add the remaining cake cubes and pour the remaining cream next to it. To finish, shave chocolate over the top.

Für uns war es nicht so wichtig dass die Sahne fest wurde. Es hat ein bisschen geholfen, dass die Kokosnussmilch erst im Tiefkühlschrank war und wir haben das meiste (aber nicht alles) des Kokosnusswasser abgegossen. Der Joghurt gibt ein bisschen mehr Konsistenz, und wir mögen es auch, dass er den Kokosnuss-Geschmack ein bisschen abmildert. Alles gut vermischen, und dann 3/4 der Sahne über die eingeweichten Kuchenstücke in der neuen Kuchenform giessen. Die restlichen Kuchenstücke hinzufügen und die restliche Sahne herumgiessen. Zum Abschluss Schokolade über alles raspeln.

Brownies / Drownies

von Dieter




We (and apparently others) love these brownies so much that we keep adapting the recipe so we can eat them as much as possible. Our current - high protein/lower sugar - version is here! We played with these recipes in Europe, so the measurements are all in grams/millilitres - we now adapted this to cups for the first recipe but haven't tried it that often, so you if you are measuring ingredients by cups you might need to adjust the amounts slightly. The batter should be like a cream before baking, so more on the soft side. 

Wir (und anscheinend auch andere Personen) mögen diese Brownies so sehr, dass wir das Rezept mehrmals angepasst haben, um diese Brownies so oft wie möglich essen zu können. Hier ist unsere aktuelle Varianten mit viel mehr Eiweiss.

Drownies (high protein)

200gr (1.5C) protein powder mix (we use a mixture of 4 parts rice protein powder, 4 parts pea protein powder, and 1 part hemp protein powder)
100gr (1C) Zucker / sugar
50gr (1/4C) Kakaopulver / cocoa powder 
1 Esslöffel (1T) Backpulver  / baking powder 
1 Teelöffel (1t) Salz / salt
1t Vanille (amount depends on the type of vanilla you use, for most it is around 1t)
250ml (1C) Wasser / water 
150ml (1/2 cup) Öl / oil 
2 Teelöffel (2t) Maple syrup / Ahornsirup

Instead of the protein powder mix, you can use a mixture of 100gr gluten/seitan mix and 100gr protein powder (also soy flour works) - though that of course means they will no longer be gluten free. Or you can use 200gr of normal flour.


Instructions 

  • Mix the dry ingredients directly in the baking pan
  • Add the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly with a fork
  • Bake at 370F for 35 minutes, the brownies are ready when a knife comes out clean and the top has started to caramelise

Anleitung

  • Die festen Zutaten in einen Backschussel geben, leicht vermischen / Mix the dry ingredients in the baking pan.
  • Die flüssige Zutaten hinzufügen und mit einer Gabel gründlich vermischen
  • Backen bei 180C für 35min, sie sind fertig wenn ein Messer sauber herauskommt und die Oberfläche leicht karamellisiert ist

Chocolate croissants

By Dieter





puff pastry
chocolate fudge


Make sure to get puff pastry and not any of the other kinds of pastry (not filo, nor shortcrust etc.).


Let the puff pastry defrost. It is now ready to use, and can be folded into all different shapes with a tablespoon of fudge inside. For more puffiness, flatten the pastry, fold over, flatten, fold, repeat a few times. Bake in an oven at low temperature ~170C/340F for ~15 mins until the tops are golden and crispy.

Chocolate fudge

By Dieter

1 bar of dark chocolate (70%)
2 table spoons of coconut butter
1 table spoon cocoa powder
2 table spoons of oatley cream
6 table spoons of sugar (add according to taste)
1 table spoon of maple syrup
vanilla flavour

salt

Combine all ingredients in a pot at low to medium temperatures, just high enough such that the chocolate melts. Stir well, pour into a container, and let it sit in the freezer/fridge until it becomes solid.

Thingys

By Corina

¼C Soy Margarine (Willow Run or Earth Balance are the best)
1C Maple Syrup
¼C Cocoa powder (or melted Trader Joe's chocolate chips)
1C Peanut butter (and/or Almond butter)
1t Vanilla
1T Cinnamon
1C Shredded Wheat (crushed)
  • Melt the soy margarine and add maple syrup (burner on high). Boil while stirring for about 5 minutes until goo drips from spoon in a solid line.
  • Turn burner down or off; stir in cocoa powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and peanut butter. Mix until smooth.
  • Crush shredded wheat and stir into mixture until evenly distributed.
  • Drop by spoonfuls onto plates and put in refrigerator (this will harden them and keep from melting again).

Soy-free, gluten-free version: instead of shredded wheat, use Nature's Path Organic Corn Flakes (fruit juice sweetened); instead of soy margarine, use Earth Balance Soy-Free buttery spread.

Chocolate Chip Cookies


High protein version

from Chocolate Covered Kate, modified by Tom & Dieter
8T protein powder
8T flour
8T sugar
1t salt
2T baking powder 
2T vanilla
6T oil
6T water
6T chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. The dough will be relatively solid. Grease an oven pan, and place the cookies on it (1 spoonful per cookie, this makes about 24 cookies, the cookies will grow a bit so space them apart). Preheat the oven to 330F (165C), and bake for 11 minutes. 






From http://vegetarian.about.com/od/vegancookierecipes/r/chocchipcookies.htm, modified by Corina

A smaller batch (makes about 24 cookies)
1 1/3C / 130g flour
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
3/4C / 75g sugar 
1t vanilla
enough vegan milk to make a thick dough (maybe 1/4C, but mix in a little bit at a time until you get the right consistency)
1/2C / 112ml vegan margarine
12 oz / 400g vegan chocolate chips

A massive batch
2 3/4 C / 260g flour (use 130g Vital Wheat Gluten flour [Veganz seitan basis] to increase protein)
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1 1/4 C / 250g maple syrup (+670kcal) or sugar (+850kcal)
1 t vanilla
~250ml milk (but probably much less): coconut (80kcal) or oat (chocolate: 130kcal + 2.3g protein) (enough to make it the right consistency - it sticks together and is not runny)
1 C / 225ml margarine (+1590kcal) or coconut butter (+1800kcal) (melted if not using a mixer)
12 oz / 400g vegan chocolate chips (Trader Joe’s, Sarotti Fondue Schokolade [+2188kcal, 20g protein])

(To reduce calories, replace margarine with milk)

Mix flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder with a mixer. Add margarine and vanilla. Add enough coconut milk to get it to the right consistency. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for ~10 minutes, until edges just start to brown.

Total (130g wheat gluten / 130g flour) = 117g protein, 880kcal from flour & seitan only
Per cookie (total / 25 cookies) =
5g protein
35kcal + 34kcal from sugar - or - 27kcal from maple syrup
+ kcal from chocolate chips, milk, and margarine

(suggested by Arne - what a great idea!!!)
Make vanilla ice cream
Crush 1 pack (or 1 row) of Oreos and mix in just before putting it in the freezer

Non-alcoholic mojito ice cream

Make vanilla ice cream (using Oatley cream), but exclude the vanilla and include 2/3 C lime juice (7 limes) and zest of 1 lime in the boiling.

Pour the cream into a pot, add the sugar and a bit of salt. Cut the vanilla bean ope, and scrape out the pods into the cream, before adding the whole bean. Heat up the cream to let it come to a small simmer, while stirring repeatedly. Turn off the heat, remove the vanilla bean, and pour into a container. Add about 2/3 of the Salted Caramel sauce, pouring it into all parts to get it well mixed. Put the container into a freezer till the ice-cream is ready. Add the remaining sauce while eating.
