12 Sweet Recipes for Easter Baking

April 16, 2019 by Alexandra Daum
Saffron Wreath Bread | occasionallyeggs.com #veganrecipes #saffron #bread

This collection of healthy Easter baking recipes is perfect for brunch, dessert, or to have around for a crowd. There’s a good mix of spring ingredients and chocolate here, something for everyone! All of the recipes are dairy and egg free, and any that include honey can be switched out for maple syrup to make them fully vegan.

We’re heading to Germany over the coming weekend for some family time, and I’ll be making a few of these recipes for family and friends while we’re there. And if you don’t celebrate Easter (we don’t so much, really, but it’s a nice way to bring in spring) these are great for this time of year in any case.

If you’re most into the rhubarb, check out these 10 healthy rhubarb recipes too – and if you don’t have dietary restrictions, we also rounded up a beautiful collection of Easter dessert ideas over at Baked.

Spelt Saffron Buns
Vegan saffron buns for St. Lucia Day, or any time of year. These are made with spelt flour and coconut oil, sweetened with maple syrup.
