25 Uses For Lemon Peels…Including Lemon Vinegar! | One Good Thing by Jillee

21 Oct

Yesterday my daughter decided that she absolutely needed to prepare the lemonade, so we had to do it! I messed up the first try, so we had to do the second round. It turned out great, but then I asked myself what I’m gonna do with all the lemons that were left?

I found this great blog post, and attempting to make lemon vinegar! The peels from 8 lemons were enough to fill the whole jar, so I’ll wait and see if it works!

This recipe is from book “Vegan – 100 everyday recipes”, with some changes that I’ve made, as usual.

bundt_cakeYou need:

2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups sugar

3/4 cup dry unsweetened coconut

2 cups coconut vanilla milk

2/3 canola or any other oil (not pure olive)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups mixed berries

 

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F

2. Mix dry ingredients

3. Add liquid ingredients, mix well. Add berries

4. Butter the bundt pan, pour the batter in there.

5. Bake for 45 min – 1 hr. Check with a toothpick

Ready!

When it’s ready, the book suggests serving it with vegan ice cream. Should taste awesome, but mine was great without it as well

Enjoy!
