these are fast and maybe you have the ingredients on hand?
Also, if you have coconut milk on hand and rice, you can make a quick rice pudding.

I've made those chocolate oatmeal cookies and they're good but don't hold well for too long, IMO. They're great for like a weekend but not a full week.

This is a recipe an elderly lady gave me years ago. She was a good cook, but am not sure if I ever tried this. If I remember correctly, it was a recipe from the war years when sugar was rationed.

Simply Cake

1 cup orange juice
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup shortening (all vegetable)
1/4 cup honey

Soak raisins in juice for at least 30 minutes, then boil all above for 5 minutes and cool.

Sift together:

2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine flour mixture and raisin mixture and beat well. Then add 2 Tbls. orange zest and 1/2-1 cup black walnuts. (am sure you could leave out nuts.)

Bake at 350.

The recipe doesn't give any pan size or baking time.

Sorry! I just re-read and saw it is for camping. If none of the above work, google brings up many recipes if you put in vegan cookies. Good luck-hope you find a winner!

this is vegan
Classic Wacky Cake/cupcakes
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup flour (see below for gluten-free options)
3 Tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vinegar
5 Tbsp oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.

Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl and stir to combine.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until you get a smooth batter. Do not beat.

Pour into greased and floured pan (8" square or 9" round) or 12 cupcakes. Bake in oven until tests done - about 35 minutes for cake, about 20 minutes for cupcakes.

I always have agar agar in the house to make quick fruit jello for my vegan friends.

Looks like the wacky cake is the winner. Thank you

No fires at campsite - fire bans
No coconut milk here
Never heard of agar agar- So far my nephew is the only vegan I know and I only found out last night.
Those cookies look good but might not hold out in the heat.

Again thanks for the rescue so quickly

Just for future viewers, most vegans will not eat honey, as it is an animal product. Some will not eat sugar because it is processed with something (I forget what) that is an animal by- product.

Also for future reference, I have successfully made the Pioneer Woman cinnamon rolls (my favorite ever) completely vegan. They were delicious. I just subbed Earth Balance for the butter and almond milk for the dairy milk.

It's very easy to make most baking recipes vegan, especially if the original recipe doesn't contain eggs. But even then there are workarounds.

I tried I had no idea about sugar.........:( have no time now to make another one I looked at the splenda too when I made it but thought no. I even found an icing recipe with avocado I hope he is a vegan that eats sugar.

Most vegans that I know do eat sugar so I wouldn't worry about that too much. I don't know if I would take an avocado icing camping though.

It's very sweet of you to want to include him. :) I am sure he will appreciate the gesture.

CLBlakey:

Am sure he will appreciate that you made the effort to make something special just for him. That was very thoughtful!

Thanks for the tip olychick. I wasn't aware.

I think it's more likely than not that he eats sugar...but I live in Extreme (that's with a capital E) vegan country and some of my friends I've cooked for do not. I learned the hard way about not using honey and sugar :(

It's so extreme here that I've heard local vegans want their own separate co-op building so they don't have to shop in a non-vegan store. I pass no judgement on that; they have their convictions, it's just to give an example of how serious it is in my community.

So I read I could freeze avocado so the cake went into the freezer as long as it lasts the days drive today and is okay for tomorrow when we meet up with them I will be happy. My brother has a fridge if my skookum cooler doesn't work. Time to start packing the food.
