Plant-Based Easter Recipe Round-Up
Easter is one of the most special days of the year. I am so grateful for the resurrection of Jesus Christ that allows all of us to live again! Because of Him, we all have hope no matter our current circumstance. That definitely deserves a special celebration!
Here are some sample menus for a special whole-food plant-based Easter dinner, and also some healthier Easter treats.

As for dessert, there are so many options!
These cookies are our favorite Easter treat tradition, even though they’re not 100% compliant. If you’re looking for a recipe that uses no oil, you can try my Healthier No-Bake Cookies recipe. Place little blueberries and raspberries inside the nests instead of Cadbury Mini Eggs, and you have a completely WFPB treat.

I love that the above recipe requires no egg mold. They do use 2 teaspoons of coconut oil, but for an oil-free recipe, check out this one from Feasting on Fruit.

This very-healthy-but-very-moist-and-sweet carrot cake is pretty much a must-make….for dessert or breakfast. Since there is fruit and vegetables involved, I fully support either one.
