Vegan Mac And Cheese Cooking Recipe | Yummy Vegan Recipe!

Feb 4, 2016 · Leave a Comment

When I decided to stop eating dairy,  Mac and Cheese was one of the foods I missed the most. I mean honestly, who doesn’t love a warm bowl of creamy, cheesy, satisfying, mac and cheese? I searched the internet to try and find an alternative that omitted dairy. Unfortunately, most of them contained cashews (I’m allergic). As my search continued, I found lots of recipes that looked good, but contained an ingredient or two that I didn’t want to include. Finally, I decided to create my own recipe!

My ideal mac and cheese had to be:

  • Dairy Free
  • Nut free
  • Gluten Free
  • Sugar free
  • Fat free

WOW… I’ve got a lot of requirements!!!

After a few tweaks, I finally created a sauce that I am not only satisfied with, but that I have been putting on EVERYTHING.

Add more salt depending on desired taste

This sauce is creamy, cheesy, and delicious. I will admit, it doesn’t taste like mac and cheese that comes from a box, but it absolutely satisfies the craving and tastes great!

My “aunt in law” has been making some of my recipes with her son, and I realized that this recipe is totally kid friendly! I think it would be fun for a child to chop all of the ingredients, and watch the sauce turn color as it blends!

Happy Saturday!!!
