Vegan Easter Bunny Waffles!
Vegan Easter Bunny Waffles! were SO fun to make with my little dude this morning! It’s my spring break (woo-hoo!!!) and today G didn’t go to his nanny’s. We declared it a day of Easter fun! Easter bunny waffles, egg dying, and nail painting… was totally awesome! These waffles were super easy to make and crazy cute! They were almost too cute to eat! As you all know, I’m a sucker for any kind of holiday/event decor, so the food styling for this post was incredibly fun. I’ve also included the link and picture to last year’s Easter Bunny cake, and pics of my table’s decor (and my new and fabulous plants). I’m gonna keep this post short and sweet because the little man and I are headed to the Audubon Society for a suh-weet hike! Happy early Easter! Love, FGG
PS- Beware! Picture heavy post! 😉
- Waffle mix (I used Krusteaz)
- 1/4 C coconut milk
- 1 egg substitute (I used Follow Your Heart OR you can use apple sauce)
- Food coloring (colors of your choice)
- 3 jelly beans
- 6 chocolate chips
- Fruit leather cut into 6 thin strips
- 2 Tbl shredded coconut
- 2 chocolate circle (I used Choco-nono's -vegan)
- Follow the waffle directions to make 3 Belgian waffles - sub out egg for substitute and instead of 2/3 water - replace a 1/4 of it with coconut milk - mix all ingredients required for your box mix
- Using 3 bowls, divide the waffle mix evenly into each bowl and dye each bowl your preferred colors
- Cook waffles and design them like the picture! You will have a remaining colored waffle
- Done!
Easter Bunny Cake
This Easter Bunny Cake is a long standing tradition in my mother’s household. We had this cake every single year throughout my entire childhood, and now it’s time for a resurrection! Perfect word of course for such a holiday if you get down with that. Either way, this Easter Bunny Cake is uber adorable, edible, and fantastic, especially when you consider serving it after arranging the cake in the midst of the absolute cutest of Easter decorations (see pics below). Your guests will be more than impressed and may follow up with a few of these: “Awe!!” “Adorable, absolutely brilliant!” “How cute!” “Can your wife make a cake like this?” I kid, I kid, but one can only hope. 😉
I specifically remember my mother making, yes making me wear an Easter bunny costume on several Easters. That’s not the embarrassing part. I had to stand on the front lawn with an Easter basket and greet my neighbors, after getting my face painted and losing all sense of self dignity. I was fifteen years old. Amen. This happened.
My family killed it in the holiday department… every year, every holiday. We went holiday decor bananas and ate like professional food champs. If you didn’t feel like your clothing was about to hurt your soul because you were so full, you’d not eaten enough. It only got better as we neared adulthood because we could at least sneak in some spiked libations when the real adults weren’t looking. On that note, as I made this Easter Bunny Cake I sipped on a sparkling rose, okay, I totally drank half the bottle. I suppose I should’ve included a picture of that as well.
I wish you all an absolutely fabulous Easter Sunday and only hope you can recreate the love that came along with this Easter Bunny Cake, and for that matter, every fabulous holiday this year. Cheers to Springtime and Summer en route! Sip with champagne, sparkling wine, or any delightful drink for that matter. Happy Easter!!!
