Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (natural gelling agent)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold plant-based butter (plant-based)
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Maple Syrup Mixture

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

Optional Fillings and Garnishes

  • Chopped smoked turkey bacon or diced fruit (apples, raisins, pears)
  • Crushed pecans or walnuts
  • Powdered sugar (natural)
  • Plant-based cream (plant-based)
  • Warmed plant-based chocolate (plant-based) for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural gelling agent), and salt. Cut in the cold plant-based butter (plant-based) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) just until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture tender.
  2. Shape the Dumplings: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead a couple of times. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball or oval shape. If desired, stuff the centers with chopped smoked turkey bacon or fruit before sealing gently.
  3. Prepare the Maple Syrup Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the maple syrup (natural) with a splash of plant-based milk and a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg if using. Warm over low heat just until combined and fragrant, taking care not to boil away the syrupiness.
  4. Cook the Dumplings: Place the formed dumplings into a lightly greased baking dish or casserole. Pour the warm maple syrup mixture evenly over the tops. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through and tender.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove dumplings from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes as the maple syrup thickens slightly. Serve warm with extra maple syrup (natural) or plant-based cream (plant-based) on the side for an indulgent experience.

Notes

  • Measure flour carefully by spooning and leveling to avoid dense dumplings.
  • Keep plant-based butter cold for a flakier, softer dough texture.
  • Handle the dough gently to keep dumplings tender; do not overknead.
  • Use pure maple syrup (natural) for authentic flavor.
  • Watch the baking time closely to prevent drying out; check softness toward the end.
