Jump to RecipeWhy go for a vegan crust?
I’ve been trying to cut out dairy and follow a low glycemic and gluten-free diet as advised by my doctor. Being a vegetarian, this change has been challenging, essentially pushing me to go vegan. But this transition has encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone in the kitchen, and I’ve been enjoying it! Although the flour used here is not gluten-free, feel free to use one that is naturally gluten-free, such as buckwheat flour. I wouldn’t recommend almond flour or chickpea flour, as I’ve found them to be “too crumbly” and they don’t hold as well. I personnally used wholegrain flour, as my doctor advised me to gravitate towards wholegrain flours if I was going to use flour with gluten!
All in all, creating a vegan quiche crust without butter was a challenge, but I’m so thrilled to share this recipe with you. It’s absolutely delicious, crumbly, and has that buttery feel without any dairy.
