vegan snacks

These vegan pumpkin muffins are the perfect fall treat, made with real pumpkin puree and a warm blend of spices. They have a crunchy, sweet cinnamon streusel crumb topping and tangy icing that perfectly balances the rich flavors. And they're so easy to make that you can keep them in rotation throughout the fall season for quick vegan breakfasts, afternoon snacks, and sweet desserts.

These vegan apple muffins taste just like fall in muffin form! Resembling a cross between apple coffee cake and apple crisp, they have a light, fluffy crumb loaded with cinnamon and apple flavor. Then, top them off with a sweet, crunchy streusel topping and a tangy lemon drizzle for an indulgent fall breakfast or afternoon treat.

One bowl and 30 minutes are all you need to make the best vegan banana muffins! Fluffy and moist, these muffins have a naturally sweet flavor thanks to ripe bananas, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Take them to the next level with an optional crunchy crumble topping and chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or blueberries! Perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast, lunchbox treat, or anytime snack.

This vegan spinach and artichoke dip is creamy, cheesy, indulgent, and tastes just like the original. No one will know there's no dairy! It's perfect for parties, game day, or any time you feel like having a guilt-free treat.

Spinach & artichoke dip is a snack that's known for being so delicious, but not so healthy. But with this vegan and gluten-free dip, you get the best of both worlds! Replacing the cheesy dairy with cashews creates a version that tastes indulgent, but is so much lighter!

This vegan dip is a party favorite with tortilla chips, pita chips, or whole wheat crackers. Whenever I serve it to guests, I am met with both shock that there's no dairy, and constant requests for the recipe.

These fried oyster mushrooms are a classic street food snack that is sold throughout Taiwan's famous night markets.

Chicken nuggets conjure nostalgic childhood memories for many of us. So while faux-chicken nuggets may not be the healthiest snack food option, they can definitely satisfy those cravings for something familiar. They're also easy to find in most grocery stores, and easy to prepare, so they're perfect when you don't have a lot of time.

If you're overwhelmed by the number of options in the vegan chicken nugget world, you're not alone! This part of the grocery store freezer section has grown quite a bit lately. With so many options to choose from, how do you know which vegan nuggets will actually satisfy your craving?

Well, I got together with a friend (Dominique, also vegan) to try 13 brands. With so many options, it was a difficult task just to narrow it down to just 13 nuggets for our taste test.

Hummus is healthy, versatile, easy to make, delicious, and vegan. Although the exact origins of hummus are not certain, evidence indicates that it was probably developed somewhere in the Middle East. Today, it's popular throughout the world and can be found in most grocery stores in the United States and elsewhere.

This delicious, creamy dip is an easy way to get some healthy fats and other nutrients into your diet as well. Hummus is a good source of protein and fiber; vitamins like vitamin B6, vitamin C, and folate; and minerals like manganese, copper, iron, magnesium, and calcium. (The exact amounts of these nutrients will vary depending on the recipe you use or the brand you buy).

You may have noticed it's not easy to find graham crackers in grocery stores that are both dairy-free and made without honey. But don't worry! These homemade graham crackers are super easy, delicious, and 100% free from animal products!

Full of flavor and topped with (optional) crunchy cinnamon sugar, these graham crackers are the perfect base for s'mores. Just be sure to top them with vegan chocolate and vegan marshmallows (like Dandies). You can also crumble them up into graham cracker crumbs and use them in a graham cracker crust for a vegan cheesecake, or chocolate mousse pie crust. Or grab some non-dairy ice cream and make a sandwich with them. Of course, they're yummy on their own, too!

Smashed potatoes, where have you been all my life? Fluffy inside and crispy outside, filling but also snackable, these have become a go-to in my kitchen. I tried a few recipes that were on the bland side, so I upped the flavor level with garlic, rosemary, vegan parmesan, and vegan butter. And they are sooo good!

These vegan mozzarella sticks have all the flavor of the original, and even some of the stretch, too! If you're missing this cheesy appetizer, no worries, I've got you! Just whip up a batch of my tangy, salty vegan mozzarella, coat it in a batter and seasoned breadcrumbs, and fry it! (Or bake it, your choice, but I like them fried). The mozzarella doesn't have the exact mouthfeel of original mozzarella (I have yet to find one that does), but it does stretch a little, and the flavor is really close.
