Ingredients

Scale

Dumpling Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (natural gelling agent)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Optional Add-ons & Garnishes

  • Smoked turkey bacon (optional)
  • Chopped apples or fresh berries (for fruit-filled variation)
  • Cinnamon or nutmeg (for spiced glaze)
  • Thin smoked turkey slices (for topping)
  • Powdered sugar (natural) for garnish
  • Crushed toasted nuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural gelling agent), and brown sugar (natural). Mix gently to distribute dry ingredients evenly.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Slowly stir in the plant-based milk, melted plant-based butter, vanilla extract (natural), and apple cider vinegar. Combine with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together, avoiding overmixing for the softest texture.
  3. Shape the Dumplings: Using lightly floured hands or a spoon, form bite-sized dumplings from the dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold its shape.
  4. Prepare the Maple Glaze: In a small saucepan, gently heat the maple syrup (natural) with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Stir occasionally until smooth and warmed through.
  5. Cook the Dumplings: Place the dumplings snugly, but not overcrowded, in a lightly greased baking dish. Pour the warm maple glaze evenly over the dumplings, ensuring each is coated. Cover and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until the dumplings are puffed, golden, and the glaze is bubbling.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough dumplings; mix just until combined.
  • Use warm plant-based milk to help activate the natural gelling agent and yield a lighter dough.
  • Make sure the dumplings are well coated in glaze to soak up maximum flavor and remain moist.
  • Cover the dumplings while baking to trap steam, which helps them puff evenly and keeps them soft.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick by inserting it into a dumpling to ensure no raw dough remains before removing from oven.
