From homemade pasta to decadent desserts, with these 3-ingredient recipes you can still prepare amazing food, even with a halft-empty pantry
Hello my beautiful friends!
You asked, and I’ve delivered: more amazing 3-ingredient recipes are coming your way today! Good, comfort food is always an essential, but easy recipes are your real best friend right now. Whether you have a half-empty pantry, a sudden craving or you simply need some easy, effortless food ASAP, finding a way to make great food with as little as 3 ingredients may not seem possible… And yet I’ve uncovered 20 ways to make Vegan, delicious and simple 3-ingredient recipes.
But how do you make great recipes with such a short list of ingredients? First of all, go back to the basics (as in: ingredients); second, use your pantry staples in a creative way. Some of our favorites? With a variety of flavorful declinations like breads, homemade pasta, comforting soups, filling snacks and decadent desserts, you may actually find a few new favorites among this list, or even one for every season.
Most so-called “easy recipes” are not always that easy. Sometimes easy recipes call for a well-stocked pantry or at least one unheard of star ingredient. But not for these genuinely easy, 3-ingredient Vegan recipes. Some are complete meals, some are a good base to build upon, some are decadent treats.
All of these are Vegan, obviously dairy-free, require no eggs and no meat, some are even gluten-free, and use only three ingredients other than water, salt, pepper and oil. As simple as ready, steady … cook!
As I often do, in order to compile this 30 Vegan, delicious and simple 3-ingredient recipes’ selection, I’ve asked the help of the most talented fellow bloggers out there. Copyright of the images used belongs to their owners and are linked with each recipe: I invite you to visit their sites, leave a comment and give these recipes a try. Be sure to scroll all the way to the end so you don’t miss any of the great ideas. And don’t forget to pin your favorites as you go!
Let me know which are your favorites from this list, and which ones you’ll be trying first.
