1. Apple, Maple & Pecan Hot Cross Buns 

Hot cross buns are an Easter staple, but why not give them a little glow-up? This egg-stra indulgent spin on one of the well-loved classic Easter recipes elevates the iconic sweet and spicy flavour profile with juicy apple, crunchy pecans, and a drizzle of maple syrup.  

Warm and fluffy with a slather of dairy-free butter, these buns are pure magic. Best enjoyed with a hot cuppa! 

2. Easter Sugar Cookies 

What’s Easter without a little decorating? Fun for the kids (or the big kids at heart), these sugar cookies are as sweet to make as they are to eat. The G.O.A.T of vegan Easter recipes, they’re buttery, golden and melt-in-the-mouth soft – plus the perfect canvas for bringing your pastel-iced dreams to life.  

3. Maltese Figolli 

These traditional Maltese Easter pastries are the real deal. Featuring crisp, buttery biscuit layers filled with a fragrant almond paste and topped with chocolate, figolli are a festive favourite for a reason. Topped with icing and festive decorations, they also make for a stunning homemade gift – if you can resist eating them all yourself! 

4. Choc Chunk Waffles 

Waffles? For Easter? We can’t think of a better addition to a day dedicated to sweet treats! These fluffy, golden delights are the definition of indulgent – loaded with melty chocolate chips, a drizzle of rich chocolate sauce, cookie crumbs, and a scoop (or two) of your favourite dairy-free ice cream. Because, well, why the choc not? 

Whether you serve them for a special Easter breakfast, brunch, or a decadent dessert, they’re guaranteed to disappear fast. 

5. Crème Eggs 

No Easter is complete without crème eggs! Gooey, sweet, and coated in rich vegan chocolate, these homemade beauties are a game-changer for those with a dairy-free sweet tooth.  

Whether you’re gifting them to friends, hiding them for a hunt, or stashing them away for yourself (no judgment here), they’re the perfect plant-based version of this Easter classic. 

6. Bunny-Shaped Cake 

The centrepiece of your Easter lunch has arrived! This adorable bunny-shaped cake is as delicious as it is festive, with a soft, moist crumb and a fluffy layer of frosting. Decorate with coconut flakes for a “furry” effect, or go all out with piped icing and edible flowers.  

Either way, it’s almost too cute to eat – almost.
