6 Classic Dessert Recipes Made Vegan to Enjoy on World Vegetarian Day
Today, we celebrate vegetarians—not just in the United States but around the globe. Oct. 1 is World Vegetarian Day and the first day of Vegetarian Awareness Month.
As folks with a sweet tooth, being vegetarians can be surprisingly challenging. Thankfully, many vegan recipes can help you consume your favorite treats guilt-free. Below, discover plant-based recipes for classic desserts like brownies, ice cream and more.
Fudgy Vegan Brownies by Eat With Clarity
There is nothing quite like biting into a rich, chocolatey brownie, and it can feel almost impossible to get the same effect without eggs. Eat With Clarity has cracked the code. This recipe uses flax eggs alongside gluten-free all-purpose flour and cocoa powder to create a nearly identical texture and flavor.

Thick & Chewy Vegan Oatmeal Cookies by Food With Feeling
Can we all agree that oatmeal might be the most underrated cookie ingredient? The grain's extra chewiness offers a complex, satisfying texture. With Food With Feeling, you won't have to give it up. Instead of traditional butter, this recipe recruits vegan butter. Meanwhile, you'll get the same sugariness from white and dark brown sugar.

Vegan Brown Butter Peach Cobbler by Rainbow Plant Life
At first thought, we assumed fruit cobblers would be vegan- (and vegetarian, for those who don't eat dairy or eggs) friendly. Of course, butter is the culprit again. Rainbow Plant Life teaches you how to make animal product-free brown butter. Like usual, use all your favorite fruits and spices to get the delicious, warm filling.

Vegan Confetti Cake by It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken
Confetti is one of those flavors we thought we could never give up. At this rate, we never will have to. It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken creates the bursting flavor of colorful vanilla cake using all vegan ingredients. They also use vegan sprinkles—because not all sprinkles are vegan.

Vegan, Gluten-Free Neapolitan Ice Cream by Nourishing Amy
Considering that ice cream is the epitome of dairy, we're surprised Nourishing Amy can replicate the flavor so perfectly. These vegan Neapolitan ice cream bars, instead, unite coconut yogurt with cashew nuts to mimic the smoothness of milky ice cream. So, not only is it vegan, but it's also healthy.

Vegan Strawberry Milkshake by The Conscious Plant Kitchen
Speaking of classic dairy dishes, a milkshake might be the only dessert as problematic as ice cream. This recipe from The Conscious Plant Kitchen aligns with any vegan diet and only uses four ingredients: vegan ice cream, plant-based milk, frozen fruit (for the strawberry flavor) and vanilla extract. Throw it into a blender, and voila!
