Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized butternut squashes
- 1 cup quinoa or farro, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups vegetable broth or water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 1 cup kale or spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup dried cranberries or raisins
- ½ cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)
Cooking Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the butternut squashes in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until tender. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil, add the quinoa or farro, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the grains are cooked (about 15-20 minutes). In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, then add the mushrooms and kale, cooking until softened. Combine the sautéed mixture with the grains, add the dried cranberries, walnuts, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper. Once the squash is cooked, fill each half with the grain mixture and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
Extra Tips:
For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast to the filling mixture. If you’re short on time, pre-cooked grains can be used to speed up the process. Feel free to customize the stuffing with your favorite ingredients such as roasted vegetables, different nuts, or even plant-based sausage for added protein. Additionally, garnishing the stuffed squash with fresh herbs like parsley or sage before serving can enhance both its visual appeal and flavor profile. Enjoy your festive feast!

- 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup of vegan butter
- Salt, to taste

Decadent Vegan Chocolate Yule Log
Creating a decadent vegan chocolate yule log is a delightful way to celebrate the festive season while accommodating plant-based diets. This show-stopping dessert is not only visually stunning but also rich in flavor, making it the perfect centerpiece for your vegan Christmas dinner. With a soft, spongy chocolate cake rolled around a luscious vegan chocolate ganache, each slice reveals a beautiful swirl that is sure to impress your family and friends.
The key to a successful yule log is achieving a light and airy sponge while guaranteeing the ganache is smooth and creamy. By using aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) in place of eggs, you can create a fluffy texture that mimics traditional recipes. This dessert is not only indulgent but also a wonderful way to bring joy and sweetness to your holiday celebrations, proving that vegan baking can be both delicious and festive.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup aquafaba (chickpea brine)
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (chilled)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet (approximately 15×10 inches) with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine the aquafaba, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, then gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before carefully rolling the cake in the parchment paper to form a log shape. Let it cool completely.
Extra Tips:
When making your yule log, guarantee that the aquafaba is whipped until it forms stiff peaks for a light sponge texture. Be gentle when rolling the cake; if it cracks slightly, it can be covered with ganache later. For the ganache, melt the dark chocolate chips and mix with the chilled coconut cream and maple syrup until smooth. To achieve a more festive look, consider adding crushed nuts or festive sprinkles on top of the ganache before serving. Remember to dust the yule log with powdered sugar for a snowy effect, enhancing its holiday charm!
