I’m too lazy to be a vegan :( or even a vegetarian

Damn, I’m too late to enter the contest. I’ve lost track of my blogs! I can only get one kind of agave here and it tastes kind of funny. I used it recently in a FatFree Vegan’s pumpkin cheesecake and it worked well because the flavor was masked. I’ll keep an eye out for Xagave, maybe I’ll like it better!

I love the ideas everyone has posted. I usually use it to sweeten green smoothies or on my sweetheart’s perfect pancakes.

What an amazing cake you put together for your nana! The spiced cinnamon caramel sounds especially delicious.

I LOVE agave in my hemp milk and chia seed pudding. Combined with lashings of vanilla and cinnamon it gives it a very horchata-like flavor!

My approximation of a recipe:

1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened hemp milk
Vanilla extract, cinnamon and agave nectar to taste

Combine the hemp milk and vanilla, cinnamon and agave. Add to the chia seeds in an appropriately-sized bowl and combine well (I like to use a fork). Let the mixture sit for at least half an hour to let the chia seeds expand fully. You can do this and then whack it in the fridge until ready to eat.

Sometimes I heat the milk mixture on the stove and pour it on; by the time the pudding is ready to eat it’s still a little bit warm.

I also don’t have a problem with sugar in moderation.

Yum that cake looks amazing! I like agave in my coffee and in or on my pancakes.

Agave is yum. I like it in tea! Yes, I know that tea is not baked, but I couldn’t think of any recipes!

i love agave. i use it on a daily basis, in my coffee, savory meals, and baked goods. oh and don’t forget ice cream! one tasty and decadent treat i use agave for is a raw fudge. the recipe is super simple, just a matter of getting the consistency right. it is literally: virgin coconut oil, raw agave, raw cacao powder, and a bit of vanilla bean. blend it, pour it into a dish either lined with parchment or chopped walnuts, and refrigerate. enjoy!

I like to add additional agave (and lemon juice & Bragg’s) to my raw kale salad. I also love it alongside vanilla coconut milk creamer in a strong cup of apricot black tea. I love the sound of your cake!

Also, for the record, I did give S&S marshmallows another try. (sigh) You were right, and now I can’t stop buying them and will probably die broke and alone with a honey of a sugar high!

I love agave, it’s a shame it’s so expensive. I normally use it by putting a little in my smoothies, or sometimes in cookies. I also like it in place of maple syrup from time to time. Soooo yummy.
