The last batch of these ended up being sweeter than I'd have cared for, so — while I added 50% to almost everything in the cake recipe to fill 6 ramekins — I kept the sauce quantity as-is in the original recipe. I didn't bother with cooking the sauce this time and it still turned out as intended. The cider vinegar was added to try to build some depth of flavour into the sauce, but I found it didn't make much of a difference. I found it surprising that the maple flavour didn't come through much at all, and think I'll try adding a bit of maple extract next time to try to boost that.
Vegan Pudding Chômeur!
I used The Quaint Kitchen's recipe, making a batch-and-half to ensure I'd have enough to fill 6 ramekins. The vegan yogurt I used was President's Choice Coconut Cultured Yogurt, and I the plant "milk" was just the septic-packaged stuff I keep in the pantry (I think this time it was Silk brand).
Mini loaves of bread!
Here's the recipe I used as a reference. I ended up subbing in 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat flour, as well as 15 g of vital wheat gluten. I also used melted margarine in place of the olive oil.
Butter Chicken Pizza!
I've been using up leftover butter chicken (when such a thing exists — this one's made with KFI's Vegan Butter Chicken Sauce) by using The Kitchn's No Knead Bread recipe as a jumping-off point for making a batch of pizza dough (replacing ⅓ of the a.p. flour with whole wheat flour), putting that on a sheet pan, and topping it with the yummy-ness.
It's been such a hit that it gets made fairly often around here these days.
