Did Easter sneak up on you like it did for me? Up until last week, I thought Easter was going to be in April.
Then I got the wonderful news that the twins will be here for Easter (they're usually with their mom, while Chris and I do an all-day movie marathon and eat candy)! This will be our first Easter where we actually get to do traditional Easter things as a family, and I couldn't be more excited. Since the twins are pre-teens now and because we're vegan and don't want anything to do with eggs, Chris and I are planning a plastic egg hunt. Each of the eggs will be filled with $1-5 dollars (though, there will be two eggs with $10 each) and candy (I've stocked up on their favorite veganSurf Sweets candy. Please research before you buy, though, because not all of their products are vegan.). Then we can have an actual Easter brunch! I am just so excited!
I've been happily putting together a menu for this Sunday and here are some wonderful vegan Easter recipes that I have in mind:
Carrot Cake Waffles
Cinnamon Rolls
from Oh Ladycakes
Lemon Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes
Mushroom Chard Shallot Almond-Feta Frittata
from Vegan Richa
Carrot Cake Granola
Strawberry Muffins
from Vegan Fling
Roasted Grapefruit Waffles
Chocolate Cinnamon Tea Bread
from Sunday Morning Banana Pancakes
Easter Basket Salad
from Cadry's Kitchen
Spring Slaw
from The Vegan Chickpea
Cream of Asparagus Soup
White Bean, Asparagus & Artichoke Heart Salad
from An Unrefined Vegan
Seitan Mushroom Roast
Fusilli with Broccoli and Basil Pesto with Red Radishes
from Vegan Richa
Rustic Asparagus Quinoa Tart
from Sunday Morning Banana Pancakes
Easter "Egg" Sugar Cookies
from Alien's Day Out
Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Candy
Chocolate Peanut Butter & Coconut Cups
from The Vegan Chickpea
Lemon Icebox Pie
from The Vegan Crew
Deluxe Chocolate Marshmallow Bars
Peppermint Patties
from Pickles & Honey
Lemon Poppy-Seed Cookies
Almond & Pistachio Ice Cream
fromVedged Out
If you celebrate it, what are your plans for this Easter?

Wow! I want to make one of everything! So glad to know there really are vegan M&Ms! I miss making M&M cookies and Monster cookies!
And I can give two thumbs up to the Deluxe Chocolate Marshmallow Bars -- I made those a couple months ago and they were a-maz-ing.Reply

I'm so glad you liked the chocolate marshmallow bars- It's been awhile so I think I need to make them again soon! And those m&m's... They are so good (crunchier than the original, but I liked it), but they're always sold out. If you can get your hands on them, but a few bags! 🙂

You will have so much fun with the twins! I've never been on the organizing end of a plastic egg hunt. It will be such a delight to see the excitement on their faces as they open up each one, eager to see what's inside. As adults, it's easy to let most holidays just pass by without taking much time to celebrate. Having kids around makes for a good excuse to just enjoy the day!
There are so many mouthwatering Easter options here! Thanks for including my salad in your round-up!

I know- I'm so excited about it! My best friend's family does it every year, even though the kids are all adults now and they still have a blast. I hope the twins have fun with it. 🙂
Thank you so much for contributing, Cadry- your salad is totally perfect!

I've ordered a truckload of vegan Easter eggs online and plan on eating it all guiltlessly 🙂 (I've actually already sampled some... muahaha)

I was planning on ordering some easter candy, but it snuck up on me too fast. Oh well. There's always next year. Have a wonderful Easter! 🙂

Those lucky twins!! How will you ever choose from that loooong list of goodies?!
Reply
keepinitkind
I have no clue how to choose. Maybe I'll have to stretch the celebratory meals over the course of a few days. 🙂

Wow! All of these look delicious! I wasn't planning on making anything fancy but this post might have me reconsider. We usually go out to enjoy mimosa brunch on easter, a tacky tradition 🙂 I can't wait to try the carrot cake waffles.

I love a good mimosa brunch (though, I must confess, I haven't had one in years)! Have a wonderful Easter, Alex! 🙂

I wish I had the sort of kitchen that would allow me to prepare that much! And enough people to eat it all! 😉 It's going to be hard to choose what to make...

Those m&m cookies are so adorable! I can’t remember the last time I had an m&m cookie, but it’s great to know there’s a vegan alternative. I think I’ll have to buy some right away! And the chocolate marshmallow bars – no words to describe how badly I need to make these. Thanks for the wonderful roundup!

Thank you, Jodye! It is awfully reassuring that we can still have M&M cookies, isn't it? 😉 Have a wonderful weekend!

Any vegetarian ideas for a main course? Ya know, like instead of a ham or turkey 🙁

I would try my Seitan Mushroom Loaf (link is above in the post) or maybe Sunday Morning Banana Pancake's Rustic Asparagus Quinoa Tart (link is also in post). I also have a stuffed Seitan Roast and a Lentil Mushroom Meatloaf in my book, But I Could Never Go Vegan! Both of those would be great options as well. If you want to purchase something, Field Roast makes a great Celebration Roast which Iv'e made several times. I believe Gardein also has some sort of roast in the freezer section. They're worth looking into. Good Luck!
