Farm Fresh Vegan Eggs

Come this Easter holiday season, everyone is going to be colorfully dyeing hardboiled eggs, creating their best egg souffle dishes, and making chick-shaped deviled eggs. But what about those of us who don’t eat eggs? Where is our alternative? Well, I’ll tell you what. I went to a farm yesterday and plucked 1/2 dozen freshly laid vegan eggs to show that we, too, can enjoy our very own egg-free Easter celebration.

They came in this sturdy carton that may look like real eggs, but pull back the top, and what do we have?

The only type of egg a vegan will eat.

I took one out of the carton. It was still warm. As I took a bite, I could instantly taste the quality of freshness–these vegan eggs mean business, folks. So much better than anything you have ever tried. Before I knew it, I had to watch for the marshmallow yolk in the middle. These guys can be messy! {marshmallow middle made separately}*

RICE O’S EGG TREATS RECIPES

Gluten, egg, and dairy free

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 c. Nature’s Path Whole O’s gluten-free cereal
• 1/2 bag Dandies marshmallows
• 1 1/2 Tb vegan butter

DIRECTIONS:

1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
2. Once melted, add marshmallows. Stir often until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Pour cereal into melted marshmallows and stir until well combined. If you need to add more cereal, do so, depending if you like your treats to be extra marshmallowy or not.
4. Allow to sit for a minute to cool down briefly. Scoop out 1/4 c. worth of mix into hands and form into an egg shape.

Forget protein-packed eggs, these guys are filled with marshmallowy goodness. Perfect for the person interested in lowering their cholesterol {ignore this statement}, finding new foods that feed the brain {another untrue fact}, and looking for ways to introduce healthier options into their diet {yup, this is a lie, too}.

{no real yolks were used in the making of these eggs}

Okay, okay, so these are the perfect once-in-awhile treat that by no means have nutritional value but sure do hit that sweet tooth spot!

*For the egg yolk, in a bowl, melt 7 marshmallows with a drop of water in the microwave for 10 seconds. Pour 4-5 drops of yellow food coloring into the mix, stir until completely smooth and melted.
