Cake Box Hack: Replace the egg and the oil with one can of rinsed and drained chickpeas. Add the chickpeas to a blender with the amount of water the box calls for and blend into a mixture. Add the cake box ingredients to the chickpea mixture and follow the rest of the recipe as directed on the box.
*Use chickpeas in cake boxes, even if it is a chocolate cake.
Tofu Frosting: 1 package firm tofu warmed in the microwave, 1 package melted chocolate chips. Add powdered sugar to taste.
Avocado Frosting: Avocados work as a 1 to 1 swap for butter in any frosting recipe. This recipe I used was 2 avocados, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 4 cups powdered sugar, lemon or lime juice (to prevent browning)
Glaze for donuts: Powdered sugar and plant milk.
Brownies: Omit the water it calls for on the box. Omit the eggs. Swap the oil for water. Add a can of rinsed and drained black beans to the water and blend. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bean mixture. Black bean brownies work best if you can add extra chocolate chips or add frosting.

Costco Kirkland brand chocolate chips are vegan😁

[@plantwhys]

Whaaaaat!! I am going to buy some! I didn't realize that!

[@sunnyshealthcoaching]

Not all of them. Last time they didn't have the vegan ones

[@shelbywoo3229]

They sell 2 different Kirkland brand chocolate chips and 1 of them is definitely vegan, taste better than the ones in the video, and are so much more cost effective! You won’t regret it. 😊

[@debbiestevens5490]

These are simply wonderful hacks! I love to be able to use the Box mixes and now I can make them without eggs or oil! Thank you thank you thank you

[@plantwhys]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed them!

[@Giostrasse03]

Utterly brilliant video’s, bubbly and gorgeous lady. Your content is a true pleasure. Thank you for all your hard work. Truly appreciated.

[@pilatesbyalisia7015]

Thank you!! Thats really sweet of you!

[@juls2334]

Awesome hacks! The white cake with green frosting would be perfect for St. Patrick's Day!

[@pilatesbyalisia7015]

YESSS! I am totally going to make it!

[@tammyt4959]

Loved the frosting of Silken tofu w/chocolate chips, although I reduced to 6 oz chocolate chips and it was plenty sweet enough and thickened beautifully to frost a cake. Nestle Toll House "Semi-Sweet Allergen-Free" chocolate chips and Trader Joe's "Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips" are also vegan. Also used "Betty Crocker Super Moist Lemon Cake Mix" with 1 cup rinsed garbanzo beans & 1 cup water and the cake turned out phenomenal! I was frosting it when hubby and son descended upon the cake and ATE HALF OF IT before I could even chill it. 🤣Thank you for the inspirations!🤗

[@veganmamafourgirls5370]

Brilliant baking hacks! I love this! I have never thought of using chickpeas/black beans in a baking mix. That is so convenient and adds so much nutrition. Thank you!

[@inspiteofbecauseof4745]

Works great in cookies too. Just made 3 dozen for grab and go to soccer games. You can’t beat the added protein and fiber.

[@plantwhys]

I agree! Super easy, so much better for you and still so yummy!

[@plantwhys]

I need to do a bean cookie video next!@@inspiteofbecauseof4745

[@maryrz8804]

I am loving your channel!! Your how-to's are great! You have made my vegan journey so much easier than I thought it would be!! Thank you!❤

WOW!!!!

[@plantwhys]

💕

[@SK-ki1te]

😱Wow! Maybe someday I’ll be brave enough to try!

[@plantwhys]

Try it! I promise you don't taste the beans!

[@laurie9608]

I always make muffins with absolutely no oil as well. I use silicon molds and never spray. They pop out clean as ever. I always remove them by popping from the bottom side and usually let them cool a bit before doing so.

[@plantwhys]

Great tip! I'll have to try letting them cool down more before popping them out and see if I can get away with not spraying them with oil.

[@kieryc]

Wow! This morning I tried this for the first time with Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin mix…amazing!!! They were perfect. No one would ever know. Thank you so much, Alisia!!!

[@plantwhys]

Yay!!! I’m so glad!! 💕

[@kieryc]

Since this works with boxes, how would you replace eggs and oil with chickpeas in other non-box recipes? I don’t always like the sweetness and texture of using applesauce. Is there some formula that could be applied, like how much chickpeas equal an egg? Or how much chickpeas equal a 1/4 cup oil?

[@HappyVegan72]

I bet a lot of people have these ingredients in their home already 🤘🏼 I only needed to buy the actual cake mixes. I can’t wait to try this!! Thank you for these great recipes 🫶

[@plantwhys]

Yay! Let me know what you think!

[@HappyVegan72]

@@plantwhyswe have made the donut recipe 3 times already, lol. We did your chocolate recipe with glaze and sprinkles (2 times). Then, I made a yellow cake mix but added (cinnamon , nutmeg, cloves). THEN..I made maple frosting (with melted v. butter , powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon). My variation was NOT healthy…😂 I went off the rails! You are a genius, I am definitely making donuts this way from now on 🙌 P.S. They freeze great 👍

[@Moofus30]

The beans are blowing my mind. When I first saw a can of chickpeas I thought you were going to use aquafaba 😅 using actual beans is so much easier and practical

[@pilatesbyalisia7015]

YES! And it works so well!!

[@rockyblueberries9723]

Hello Ali , I am new to your channel and have been enjoying and learning from you! I like the grey square strainer you’re using to strain your beans, would you mind telling me the source were purchased it? Thank you very much

[@plantwhys]

Here it is! amzn.to/3wYm5It

[@rockyblueberries9723]

@@plantwhys thanks for your reply Ali however I was talking about the small rectangular grey strainer that you use to empty the beans into the pans. Not the over the sink strainer. Thank you for your time.Ingrid

[@sunnyshealthcoaching]

Hi Ali, GREAT hack!!! Thank you❤ If I used the aquafaba in place of some of the water, would it make the cake fluffier? 🤔

[@pilatesbyalisia7015]

I have totally tried that before and it makes the cake a little too salty for my taste.

[@MargieSDraskovich]

I would also greatly appreciate knowing the answer to this question. Thanks. ❤

[@MargieSDraskovich]

@@pilatesbyalisia7015That makes sense. Thanks. Maybe low sodium chickpeas in a can would be better, but eliminating as much sodium as possible would be best - so I am going to drain and rinse unless I have cooked them from dry as I often do. I will try that aquafaba someday as I don’t add any salt then.

[@pattyspetsittingadventures]

Thanks for the hacks! Wasn’t that lime juice and not lemon that you added to the avocado frosting? It looked green, not yellow. 😊 Nestle Tollhouse had plant based chocolate chips now but I still prefer Enjoy Life!

[@plantwhys]

🤣 I wondered if anyone would catch my mistake! For some reason my mouth said lemon when I was holding a lime. 🤪

[@kntonks]

❤

[@leonieduplessis4467]

just rinse your silicone moulds with water no oil spray

[@plantwhys]

Ok! I'll try this next time!

[@jodieroberts7882]

All of these recipes can be mixed in the Kitchen Aid?

[@pilatesbyalisia7015]

Yep!

[@elizabethpreciado5874]

What type of powder sugar do you use ?

[@plantwhys]

The only one available at my local grocery store. I'll have to check the brand. Nothing fancy.

[@phoenixrising3629]

Would this work for GF mixes?

[@pilatesbyalisia7015]

Yep!

[@maggieplum]

Trader Joe’s has vegan chocolate chips. :)

[@deecapps6637]

There's also Nestle allergen free chocolate chips that are vegan

[@plantwhys]

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!
