What is a vegan sweet and why is it on the rise?
The vegan sweets have conquered modern confectionery. These are desserts and sweets made without ingredients of animal origin, such as eggs, milk or butter, using only plant-based products. This change is a response to a greater awareness of health, sustainability and animal welfare, trends that are shaping confectionery.
Benefits of choosing vegan desserts
- Suitable for all: Desserts are ideal for vegans, vegetarians, people who are lactose intolerant or allergic to eggs, and also for those who are looking for a healthier diet.
- Less saturated fats: By eliminating animal products, cholesterol and saturated fats are reduced, promoting cardiovascular health.
- Sustainability: Vegan sweets have a lower environmental impact, as their production requires fewer resources and generates fewer emissions.
- Innovation and flavour: Thanks to ingredients such as vegetable milks, healthy oils and fruits, vegan desserts achieve amazing textures and flavours, matching or surpassing traditional sweets.
Key ingredients in vegan baking
- Vegetable milks: Oat, soy, almond or coconut, they add creaminess and flavour.
- Extra virgin olive oil: It is essential to achieve a juicy and healthy texture, as in Carmen Lupiañez oil cakes.
- Egg substitutes: Chia seeds, flax seeds, mashed banana or aquafaba (chickpea water) serve as binders.
- Natural sweeteners: Coconut sugar, agave syrup, maple syrup or dates.
- Fruits, nuts and spices: To enrich the taste and nutritional value of each recipe.
