🍦2 INGREDIENT ICE CREAM BREAD RECIPE 🍦⁣

⁣
𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦:⁣
2 pints of ice cream + 3 cups self rising flour ⁣
⁣
𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗗:⁣
⁣
1. 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 at room temperature. Do not microwave. ⁣
⁣
2. 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝟹𝟻𝟶°𝘍. Line your 9” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray. ⁣
⁣
3. Once the ice cream is thawed, give it a stir & add flour. Stir until combined. The batter will be thick. ⁣
⁣
4. Add any mix-ins (𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴, 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘴, 𝘦𝘵𝘤.) & fold those into the batter now.⁣
⁣
5. 𝘗𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘧 𝘱𝘢𝘯. Smooth out the top with a spoon or spatula.⁣
⁣
6. Place the pan into your pre-heated 350°F oven. 𝘉𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝟺𝟻-𝟻𝟶 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘢 𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯.⁣
⁣
7. Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing. ⁣
⁣
8. I topped mine with a glaze and my favorite rainbow sprinkles from @sweetapolita
⁣
Honestly, this bread is more of a bread/cake in my opinion, especially with the icing & sprinkles I added. I added sprinkles to the batter too, ‘cuz that’s just how I roll. ⁣

⁣
☀️ 𝘏𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘺’𝘴 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘺 𝘚𝘢𝘶’𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘚𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘦 is a flavorful, delicious, and plant-based sau'sage patty sandwiched in a gluten-free bagel. ⁣

𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳? 𝘏𝘢𝘩𝘢, 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯! But, let’s be serious, gut health is important. We gotta feel good to do good and nobody feels good when things are, uh, backed up shall we say. ⁣
⁣
So, I made these bran muffins. {𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘸𝘬𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 — 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥 😃}⁣
⁣
—>> 𝙎𝙬𝙞𝙥𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙚. It was on the back of the @bobsredmill wheat bran package. I made a few substitutions and marked up my changes to make it vegan! Easy peasy! ⁣Let me know if you have any questions in the comments or shoot me a DM.
⁣
I plugged the ingredients into an online tool and it 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝟼 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 dietary 𝘧𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳 in each muffin. I think the recommended daily is 25 to 30. ⁣
⁣
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩? 𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘯? ⁣
⁣
Mine might be lemon poppy seed. Maybe I’ll make that next. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬? ⁣

Hi, hey, how you doin'? 💫 I have yet to do a post like this, but thought now might be a good time (or about time!). Also, I thought it might be helpful or interesting for you to know a bit about me. ⁣
⁣
My name is Sharon and I hail from New York City! ⁣
⁣
1. I’m here to inspire you to live your best life, whether you’re vegan, dipping your toe in the water, or just want to learn more. I’m going to do my best to share recipes, ideas, and information that will help you on your journey! ⁣
2. I’m a @rouxbe Essential Vegan Desserts Course graduate and a Main Street Vegan Academy (founded by @victoriamoranauthor ) Certified Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator.⁣
3. I went vegan for the animals 16 years ago after reading the book Skinny Bitch.⁣
4. I am an Auntie to the cutest Boston Terrier @quincythebostonpup He’s changed my life and I love him so much! ⁣
5. I love animals and humans alike. Since animals can’t speak for themselves I want to do everything I can to make sure their "voices" are heard.⁣
6. That’s why I started Big City Vegan on Instagram. There’s also a Big City Vegan blog and online store where you can shop vegan message t-shirts and other merch.⁣
7. Skinny Bitch was the first vegan book I read about going vegan. Eat to Live was the first book about plant-based nutrition I read. And I think the first cookbook I got was More Great Good Dairy-Free Desserts Naturally by @goodcakesfran
8. The first movies about the vegan lifestyle I saw were @vegucated and @forksoverknives ⁣
9. I love to share vegan product finds. I think it’s exciting to see all that’s available today (you too?) and you never know what’s going to be a great addition to your menu. Speaking of menus, I love to share healthy whole foods plant-based recipes, along with some more indulgent ones - to provide something for each of you or so I try! ⁣
10. At heart, I’m a people person, so enough about me. How about you? I’d love to know where you’re at and how I can help you along the way. ⁣
⁣
Cheers!⁣
Sharon⁣
