new vegan finds!

i'd like to start a thread of new things you happen across or discover that are vegan.  i browse around in the grocery store quite a bit, reading labels, and sometimes find some pretty interesting and surprising vegan foods!

so anyway, one i found this weekend is....banana babies!  they're from diana's bananas and the dark chocolate ones are vegan.  they're just frozen bananas dipped in chocolate, but..mmmm.  the chocolate is a tiny bit waxy, but all in all, i thought it was a pretty good find.

also, many of marie calendar's fruit pies are vegan as well, which is awesome for a yummy, fatty dessert when i don't feel like making one, haha...

anyone else been finding something cool and yummy?

i heard about amy's soy mac and cheese being vegan but i went to a health food the other day and i looked at the ingredients and it said it contained milk. :/ maybe that was from before they changed the recipe?

It's the rice mac and cheese that's  GF, and vegan. It's new, and I don't know if it's in stores yet. Looks good, though.

Does anyone know of any cake mixes that are vegan? Duncan hines is not vegan anymore, if I'm right...? I want to make this cake mix cookie recipe:

Any vegan cake mix
2 sticks vegan margarine
Egg Replacer for 2 eggs
1 bag vegan chocolate chips (Ghirardelli)
• Mix ingredients together and drop like cookies on a cookie sheet.
• Refrigerate the dough before baking for best results.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

I could use Aunt Jemima's coffee cake mix but I'd like to use something else if it exists....

Duncan Hines has some vegan ones now. They started off as almost all mixes as vegan, then they all got whey, and now some don't have it, some do. I think the marble variety doesn't have whey.

i wanna say that their classic yellow, butter flavor, marble & red velvet mixes are all vegan (at the least)  i made cake mix cookies out of a butter flavor ( i added oatmeal & raisins) and red velvet, they were really good & super easy.

yeah, i remember now that the red velvet is vegan because i made it a couple years ago. it didn't turn out so great (crumbly/non-cohesive), but it was still tasty.

the red velvet cake mix works really well for the cake mix cookies, they're a really pretty deep red with big cracks through the top, theyd be really good with white chocolate chips mixed in too if you had them.

Also, the Trader Joe's boxed cake mixes are almost all vegan and easy to replace the eggs with soy yogurt or pumpkin or apple sauce, the butter with earth balance, and the cow's milk with you know, whatever your favorite non-dairy milk is!

Their vanilla cake mix is most excellent.
And I think they still carry the truffle brownie mix; it turns out best with canned pumpkin.

It would be great if you'd be willing to post a recipe, as I'm not entirely sure how much pumpkin to use and how much egg replacer/baking soda etc....I'm new to this whole vegan baking thing!! I've just been eating oreos, haha.

Oh, the pumpkin (1 15 oz can) actually replaces all of the liquid ingredients. So you literally mix a can o pumpkin with the boxed mix, and bake as usual. You'd think it would come out super-pumpkin-y, but not so much - just really fudgey, with a touch of pumpkin flavor.
I've made the truffle brownie mix by also subbing cornstarch/water for the eggs, and it usually turns out fine, but a bit oily. I've had it happen a lot with box brownie mixes (that aren't intended to be made vegan) that the oil just doesn't seem to stay mixed with everything while baking, but this one is not nearly as bad, but the pumpkin trick (for any box brownie mix) is pretty foolproof.

Thanks so much, I'll try it out and see how it goes!
