Want to surprise your mother with something home-baked? You can make these vegan Mother’s Day envelopes! They’re super easy to make; you’ll only need 2 ingredients! And because they’re vegan, they’re also lactose-free. So they’re perfect if you or your mother doesn’t eat lactose or other animal-based products.
Home-baked Mother’s Day gift
I always think that something home-baked is the best present. Everyone loves something that you baked yourself, for the effort and the love. And it’s great to not give something materialistic. Don’t give your mother something she’ll never use or, maybe even worse, feels obligated to use because you gave it to her. Something sweet to eat is always a good idea. And because these puff-pastry envelopes are vegan, everyone can enjoy them.
Envelope variation
I made these puff pastry envelopes with strawberry jam in the center, but you can of course vary with the kind of jam of your choice.
And another great variation to this vegan Mother’s Day recipe is to skip the jam, and instead roll up a bit of parchment paper and put it on the place of the jam before baking. And take the parchment paper out when they’re cooled down again. This way, the envelopes will have some space to leave an actual sweet little note. Also a great idea for Valentine’s Day or your Wedding Anniversary!
