Round Up

Eleven vegan sweets, from tahini truffles to a pavlova with an aquafaba meringue, built without oil across eleven different blogs.

Ten vegan mains and sides, from tikka masala to crispy roasted potatoes, sauteed in broth or water instead of oil.

Ten vegan breakfasts and muffins, from overnight oats to pumpkin cornbread, built with mashed banana, applesauce and pumpkin puree standing in for the oil.

Six vegan soups and stews, from a Ukrainian borscht to a slow cooker chili, built without oil or with one easy swap in place of it.

Ten vegan sauces, dips and dressings built on soaked cashews, tahini and blended vegetables instead of oil. All ten are oil-free as written or with one small swap.

Nine raw, no-bake vegan desserts built from carrots, berries, beets, avocado and walnuts. Three use no oil at all, and we’ve flagged what to swap on the other six.

Twenty of our own no-bake bites, balls and bars, sorted by how few ingredients they need. Nineteen of them are held together and sweetened by dates alone, eight have four ingredients or fewer, and thirteen take ten minutes.

Thanksgiving is one meal. Christmas is four across two or three days, plus a few weeks of baking before any of it. Thirty-one of our own recipes, organized by when you eat them rather than by course.

Take the oil out of a dip and something else has to do the work. In 20 of these 22 it is nuts or seeds blended with water. The page is sorted by what gives each one its body, because that decides whether it pours, scoops or spreads.

Thirteen of our own dinners, sorted by how long they take, from 22 minutes to an hour and a half. All oil-free, all built on beans, tofu or grains, and in the slow ones the oven does the work rather than you.

We counted every dessert on this site. 34 of the 58 are sweetened with fruit alone, 9 add a little dark chocolate, and 15 have sugar or syrup in them. This page is sorted by which is which.

Twenty-eight recipes, all ours and all tested here. The centerpiece, the sides, the pies, and a schedule that tells you what to cook 3 days out, the day before, and in the last 90 minutes.
