If you’re struggling to find vegan food inspiration for Veganuary, Pinterest can be a great place to start.

For those uninitiated, Veganuray is an annual initiative where non-vegans pledge to stick to a vegan diet throughout January.

Pinterest is packed with recipes that turn the nation’s favourite meat dishes into vegan-friendly delights.

According to the site, there has been a 98% increase in people saving vegan recipe ideas this January in comparison to last year.

From a mushroom-based vegan lasagna to guilt-free vegan pancakes, we’ve rounded up a few of our favourite ideas below.

1. Lasagna

Replace meat with mushrooms, ditch the traditional bechamel sauce and top your dinner with vegan cheese to create a lasagna perfect for Veganuary. This recipe is also gluten-free.

2. Vegetable Casserole

Thanks to vegan replacements, this broccoli-based casserole has a creamy texture, without the cream.

3. ‘Meatballs’

Meatballs may sound like a vegan’s worst nightmare, but this recipe is aubergine-based and finished with a host of fresh herbs.
