Transferred to a bowl and added some melted vegan butter and tossed them up with it and then placed on top of the mac and cheese. Blitzed them into breadcrumbs in the blender. I toasted 3 thick cut slices of white bread and then broke them into pieces and put them into the blender. I made my own breadcrumbs for this which is easy and works great! We used our cheesy garlic vegan alfredo sauce as major inspiration for this.Īdd the cooked macaroni to your big pot of sauce and toss it all together and then transfer into a 9×13 baking dish, top with breadcrumbs and bake for 20 minutes until beautifully golden brown on top.

The spices in this sauce really make it, you won’t have any doubt that this is a cheese sauce. I created a bechamel sauce with some vegan butter, all purpose flour, coconut milk and vegetable stock and once that was thick and creamy like a white sauce should be, I added some cheesy flavorings in the form of dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.

I did try a version with some vegan cheese added to the sauce, and quite honestly I just didn’t think it worked as well as the version without, so this is it. So if you’re living somewhere where it’s hard to find vegan cheese in the supermarket, no worries, this recipe is for you. This vegan mac and cheese is ultra cheesy yet we did not use one shred of actual vegan cheese in it. We made a vegan bechamel sauce and added all sorts of cheesy flavorings to it in lieu of actual cheese so that even non-vegans will find this cheesy as all heck, and then we topped it with delicious breadcrumbs and baked it. This is really a ‘classic’ vegan mac and cheese recipe in the sense that a classic mac and cheese usually involves a bechamel sauce with heaps of cheese added to it, and then it’s placed into a dish and topped with breadcrumbs and baked.Īnd that’s really very close to what we did here. It’s creamy, saucy, ultra cheesy and topped with a delicious crispy breadcrumb topping and baked to perfection. This classic baked vegan mac and cheese is everything you want a mac and cheese to be. Topped with breadcrumbs and baked until golden brown and crispy. This classic vegan mac and cheese is ultra cheesy, saucy and creamy.
