Ingredients

Scale

Dumpling Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (natural gelling agent)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, oat or soy)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons melted vegan butter (plant-based)

Maple Sauce

  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)

Optional Garnishes and Variations

  • Chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Fresh or dried apples, pears, or berries
  • Pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger (natural)
  • Warm vegan caramel (plant-based)
  • Dairy-free dark chocolate chips
  • Powdered sugar (natural)
  • Fresh mint sprigs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder (natural gelling agent), ground cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar (natural), pure maple syrup (natural), and melted vegan butter (plant-based). Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently just until a soft dough forms without overmixing.
  2. Shape Your Dumplings: Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into small, even portions. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a floured surface, ready for cooking.
  3. Cook the Dumplings: Bring a pot of lightly sweetened water or plant-based broth to a gentle simmer. Carefully drop the dumplings into the simmering liquid. Cook until they puff up and float to the surface, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Make the Maple Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the pure maple syrup (natural), a splash of plant-based milk, and ground cinnamon (natural). Warm gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened to a luscious maple sauce consistency.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the warm dumplings on plates. Drizzle generously with the maple sauce and garnish with your choice of toasted nuts, fresh seasonal fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar (natural) for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Rest the dough briefly before shaping to hydrate and soften the texture.
  • Use room temperature liquids to help activate the baking powder evenly for better rising.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain tender dumplings.
  • Cook dumplings in a gentle simmer to preserve their shape and texture.
  • Customize the sauce with natural vanilla extract or orange zest for extra aroma and flavor.
