    About

    Hi! I'm Gwen! If you're looking for easy-to-make, delicious plant-based / vegan desserts and baking recipes you'll love and want to make over and over again, you've landed in the right place!

    Why I Created This Website...

    Cooking and baking are always adventures to me. I love being in my kitchen, creating new recipes, or adapting my old favourite recipes into something I feel better eating.

    This is what the majority of this blog is all about: re-creating vegan versions of old favourites and also coming up with brand new creations along the way.

    Over the years, I've learned a lot about vegan baking (and vegan gluten-free baking!), which can both be quite tricky, but I've learned the ins and outs and I continue to test and learn new things. As I create and perfect new recipes, I share them all with you!

    My recipes are also very simple and easy to make. Personally, I do not like or make recipes that require a mile-long ingredient list, or those that are over the top, so you won't find anything like that here.

    I also do not share recipes that include a huge list of complicated steps. Everything you find here is doable, whether you're just becoming used to being in the kitchen or if you're already comfortable and confident with baking and cooking.

    I hope you love my recipes as much as I love creating them.

    What Kind of Recipes Can Be Found on Delightful Adventures?

    My recipes are ALWAYS going to be vegan and I will include details on how to make them gluten-free. So those of you who have stuck around all these years for the vegan gluten-free recipes, not to worry, they're all still here and aren't going anywhere.

    When I started this website, I shared mainly vegan gluten-free recipes but after many years of receiving questions on how to make specific recipes vegan and NOT gluten-free, I decided to expand what I share to serve an even wider audience.

    You'll find mostly desserts and baking recipes on this website but you'll also find a handful of recipes that don't fall into those categories, like appetizers, lunches, and dinners the whole family (even the kids!) will love.

    Reader Reviews

    If you're still not quite sure about vegan recipes, here are a few reviews I've received that may be helpful:

    Chai Spiced Baked Vegan Doughnuts

    "Made these today and CAN’T stop thinking about how soon is too soon to make them again. Moist, light and incredibly flavorful!"

    Vegan Butterscotch Pudding

    "I made this for Easter. I do not normally eat pudding but this sounded delicious and IT WAS SPECTACULAR!"

    Vegan Strawberry Galette

    "This was VERY delicious! I followed your directions to the "t!" Very tasty! Thank you for your content!"

    Vegan Hot Cross Buns

    "This is the second year that I am using this recipe. They are the absolute best ever vegan hot cross buns. I make them the night before, pop them in the fridge and bake them in the morning so that they are served warm and delicious. Thanks Gwen. It's so rewarding when you make a recipe and it looks like the pictures on the site."

    Easy Vegan Gluten-Free Pancakes

    "My quest to find a vegan gluten free pancake had been nothing but a failure until I found this recipe!! They are amazing each time. Thank you for saving our mornings!!!"

    FAQ

    Are the Ingredients You Use Unusual and/or Hard to Find?

    I always aim to use the simplest ingredients in all of my recipes. If one of my recipes needs a specific ingredient for it to work, I will always link to it on Amazon or include notes on where you can find it.

    Do These Recipes TASTE Different? Will Everyone Know They're Vegan?

    Some think that because a recipe is vegan and / or vegan gluten-free, it will have a funny taste or texture and that everyone will be able to tell that there is something different about it. That's not the case, here.
    My recipes are loved by those who are omnivores, vegetarians, vegans, and those who are gluten-free! So...everyone! You'll have to try them to see!
