🚫🥜 Tips for Nut-Free Vegan Cooking
- Make sure that your milk substitutes are nut-free. Choose oat or soy over almond milk, for example.
- Seeds can be a great substitute for nuts! Sesame, pumpkin, sunflower, and hemp seeds can give you a nutty flavor without nuts. And you can use sunflower or pumpkin seed butter in place of nut butters in a lot of recipes.
- When you’re cooking for someone with a nut allergy, make sure everything is clean to avoid cross-contamination. Cook the nut-free foods first, then store them before moving on to cooking with nuts.
- Food manufacturers have to label products that contain nuts, so check food labels for nut ingredients. If you’re dealing with an allergy, you may also want to avoid shared equipment.
There are nut-free options in this section for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I even have delicious vegan dessert options. And, of course, there are lots of recipes here with gluten-free and soy-free options, in case you need them.
