November marks World Vegan Month, a global celebration of compassion, sustainability and mindful living. As the seasons shift and nature reminds us of renewal, this month invites us to explore the vibrant world of plant-based cuisine and conscious choices.
From farmers’ markets overflowing with seasonal produce to creative vegan twists on traditional favourites, it’s a time to appreciate how small changes can have a big impact — for our health, the planet, and animal welfare.
Whether you’re a committed vegan or simply curious, November encourages everyone to discover the richness and creativity of a lifestyle rooted in kindness and connection.
Here are three delicious vegan recipes from Maple from Canada to serve up to the family this month:
This rich and creamy vegan mac and cheese is just as indulgent as any dairy-based alternative. Using vegan cheese, dairy-free margarine and a choice of soya or oat milk, this dish is packed with plant-based goodness and a subtle splash of sweetness, thanks to the maple syrup swirled through the sauce.
Super easy to follow, this recipe makes a comfort food favourite perfect for everyone.
Refresh your rotation of healthy meals with this vegan broccoli salad, complete with its own nut butter. Made with peanuts, edamame beans and steamed broccoli, this dish is packed with protein and fibre.
A splash of maple syrup is used to sweeten the nut butter, adding a touch of indulgence to the salad.
Delight in the ultimate vegan dessert with this chocolate and maple fondant, a plant-based twist on the classic chocolate fondant recipe. This indulgent treat combines rich, dark chocolate with the subtle sweetness of Canadian maple syrup to create a melt-in-the-middle pudding that’s sure to impress vegans and non-vegans alike.
Perfect for special occasions or when you’re craving a luxurious dessert, this vegan fondant delivers all the gooey, chocolatey goodness you’d expect from a traditional chocolate fondant, without any animal products.
