Best Vegan Recipes of 2020

These are the 10 Best Vegan Recipes on A Virtual Vegan in 2020, as voted by you the readers with your views, likes, comments and shares!

It's that time of year again, where we wrap things up and take a look back at what recipes were most popular on A Virtual Vegan in 2020. 

I’ve made it a bit of a tradition and if you want to, you can look back at the top 10 vegan recipes for 2016 and 2017 and 2018 and 2019 too.

What a year 2020 has been. I don't think it's one any of us will forget easily, but despite the many lows, AVV has seen more growth than I could have imagined and was named Best Vegan Food Blog of 2020 at the One Bite Vegan Food Blogger Awards. That made me so happy!

I'm really looking forward to seeing where 2021 takes me, but for now, it's time to sit back, grab a cozy drink, maybe a molasses cookie (I'm still officially obsessed), and cozy up with the recipes that were loved the most in 2020, in case you missed them the first time around!  

Count down with me in reverse order to see which recipe claimed the Best Vegan Recipe of 2020 Number 1 spot!

No Knead Focaccia

Wait! What? Focaccia you don’t need to knead? Yes! This super easy No Knead Focaccia is virtually fool proof. As long as you are able to stir some ingredients together in a bowl & turn on the oven you can do it. And nothing, and I mean nothing, can beat the smell & taste of fresh focaccia straight from the oven! ♡

Thick, hearty and creamy Vegan Potato Soup. It's really simple to make and very budget friendly. You can enjoy it just as it is, or get crazy with toppings. I like to finish mine off with some crumbled tempeh bacon, crispy roasted potato chunks & a sprinkle of parsley for a pop of colour!
