Vegan Baking - High Pavement Learning Centre, Sutton-in-Ashfield - Adult Learning

About this course

Would you like to be able to whip up a vegan treat with ease? Perhaps you’ve decided to eat plant-based or would like to bake for a loved one, maybe you’re just curious about it all. When we’re used to using traditional ingredients, moving to vegan ingredients can seem daunting.

This course will show you how to make a range of delicious vegan treats using common supermarket ingredients, many of which you may already have at home.  Before you know it, you will be baking muffins, cakes and cookies so delicious that people will ask “Are you sure this is vegan?”.  

No prior knowledge of baking or veganism is needed. Your expert tutor will guide you every step of the way. You will be given an explanation of what can and can’t be adjusted in a recipe so you’ll be able to mix up flavours and textures to your heart’s content. 

Over the four sessions you’ll make muffins, cookies, iced cakes and, blondies and brownies. Many of the recipes can also be adjusted to suit a gluten-free diet, however whilst every effort is made to reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, all of the major allergens are regularly used in this kitchen.
