Need some quick Vegan recipe ideas? Here are 20 delicious & simple 3-ingredient recipes

From homemade pasta to decadent desserts, with these 3-ingredient recipes you can still prepare amazing food, even with a halft-empty pantry

Hello my beautiful friends!
You asked, and I’ve delivered: more amazing 3-ingredient recipes are coming your way today! Good, comfort food is always an essential, but easy recipes are your real best friend right now. Whether you have a half-empty pantry, a sudden craving or you simply need some easy, effortless food ASAP, finding a way to make great food with as little as 3 ingredients may not seem possible… And yet I’ve uncovered 20 ways to make Vegan, delicious and simple 3-ingredient recipes.

But how do you make great recipes with such a short list of ingredients? First of all, go back to the basics (as in: ingredients); second, use your pantry staples in a creative way. Some of our favorites? With a variety of flavorful declinations like breads, homemade pasta, comforting soups, filling snacks and decadent desserts, you may actually find a few new favorites among this list, or even one for every season.

Most so-called “easy recipes” are not always that easy. Sometimes easy recipes call for a well-stocked pantry or at least one unheard of star ingredient. But not for these genuinely easy, 3-ingredient Vegan recipes. Some are complete meals, some are a good base to build upon, some are decadent treats.
All of these are Vegan, obviously dairy-free, require no eggs and no meat, some are even gluten-free, and use only three ingredients other than water, salt, pepper and oil. As simple as ready, steady … cook!

As I often do, in order to compile this 30 Vegan, delicious and simple 3-ingredient recipes’ selection, I’ve asked the help of the most talented fellow bloggers out there.
