Vegan Hacker: Can You Make a Vegan Twinkie? | Mission

Submitted by the Event Organizer

There has previously been speculation as to whether store-bought  Twinkies actually count as food or not. We’re not 100% sure either— but we do know that some vegans have been craving the taste and texture (but not the animal shortening, eggs, milk protein, etc) of a Twinkie for well over a decade now— and it’s time to take action and be creative.

There is no reason to limit ourselves to mere yellow sponge cake and vanilla-ish cream filling. Let’s hack the Twinkie! 

Make a Vegan Twinkie: The Vegan Hacker group will be using this recipe as a very general guideline, and will provide a basic vegan batter, creamy filling, and aluminum foil that we can fold into twinkie-shaped mini pans. It’s up to you to bring vegan ingredients to add to the batter, or to add to/ supplement the filling.  There are so many delicious/intriguing possibilities: cocoa, fruit filling, fakin’ bacon… Yum!
