i included the optional sugar, but otherwise basically followed the directions. the first time i make anything, i tend to stick to the recipe pretty strictly, to get a baseline, and understand the creator's intent. in a future take on this, i'm curious to see what dropping the extra sugar and adding fresh pineapple or something similar would be like, along with perhaps some water chestnuts. but, we enjoyed this quite a lot.
go-to simple and quick savory vegan/vegetarian protein! it’s dead simple to make, great over steamed rice. when baked long enough, takes on a texture similar to popcorn chicken.
very hearty, with whole wheat flour, flax, chia seeds, and quick oats. it uses milk (i went with whole milk, here), but can be made with non-dairy milk instead, which makes it vegan. it's lightly sweet on its own, with some maple syrup mixed in, but the optional ingredients can tilt it towards fruity, or chocolatey, as you please. i enjoyed two slices about an inch thick each with just some softened butter over the top. can also be dressed like pancakes or waffles, with some maple syrup or honey.
