Crafted by magazine.co.uk blogger alumni Aimee of Wallflower Kitchen (previously Wallflower Girl - why not read her Vegan Life magazine review and Banana Breakfast Pancake Recipe?), these fluffy vegan pancakes look truly exceptional. Egg-free, dairy-free and easy to make gluten-free too, Aimee uses apple cider vinegar with baking soda to help give the pancakes a healthy rise (delivering a fluffy texture). The recipe above champions date syrup with fresh figs - we say try with maple syrup, bananas and berries for a sweet, vegan-friendly treat!

All we'd add? A crusty sourdough roll for dipping. Nutritious, delicious and visually stunning, we're banking on this for being your ticket to lunch envy at work. Make in batches and share!

Think you can't make sweet treats without eggs, butter or milk? Oh Lady Cakes proves you wrong with these gooey double chocolate and raspberry brownies, reserved especially for the days when January feels too much (but #veganuary is still doable - just)! Made with dairy free dark chocolate (most brands above 85% are naturally dairy free, but always check the label), they really pack a flavour punch. With cane sugar and vanilla extract to keep them sweet and whole spelt flour to give them density, these are perfect for sharing... or squirreling away.
