Compassionate Kitchen is a vegan, organic, and sustainable pantry staples brand. All of our products are vegan certified, USDA certified organic, and sustainably packaged. We only use clean, limited ingredients like unbleached and unbromated 100% whole grain wheat flour. About Us Meet Jessica & Jon Hi, we’re Jessica and Jon Crane, the founders of Compassionate Kitchen. Our journey started from a deep love for animals, the planet, and the belief that food should be both kind and delicious. With our love of veganism and desire to make a difference, we set out to recreate the comfort foods many of us grew up with—only now made healthier, kinder, and always plant-based. We’ve spent years cooking, baking, and learning how food impacts everything—from personal health to global systems. When we became parents, we knew it was time to build the kind of brand we’d always wanted: one rooted in compassion, sustainability, and joy. At Compassionate Kitchen, we’re here to make baking simple, satisfying, and better for all.

< Back Vanilla Cake Prep Time: 20 Minutes Cook Time: 25-30 Minutes Level: Adventurous About the Recipe Indulge in a light, airy vanilla cake made with our vegan, organic Biscuit & Baking Mix. Perfectly fluffy and just the right balance of sweetness, this cake comes to life with a hint of vegan butter and your favorite icing. Ideal for birthdays, celebrations, or any moment that calls for a touch of homemade charm, it’s a cake that’s as pure and delicious as it is versatile. Ingredients Cake 1 3/4 cups Biscuit & Baking Mix 1 cup white sugar 1 cup vegan milk 1/3 cup vegan butter (soft) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar Frosting 3 1/4 cups powdered sugar 3 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil 4 tablespoons vegan milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Preparation Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 °F. Oil two 7-inch pans and set aside. *Alternatively, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan for a single layer cake (bake for 30-35 min.) or a 9x13 sheet pan (bake for 20-25 min.). Step 2 In a large bowl, combine the Biscuit & Baking Mix and sugar and mix to ensure no clumps. Step 3 Add in the vegan milk, vanilla, butter or oil, and vinegar and whisk (or use hand mixer) until combined. Step 4 Divide batter evenly between your pans and cook for 25-30 minutes (or altered time depending on pan) or until a toothpick or knife comes out of the center clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely . Step 5 Prepare frosting: Add the powdered sugar, vegan butter, half the vegan milk and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. Using your electric mixer, start at low speed, gradually increasing the speed. Add the rest of the milk in slowly until smooth and creamy. * Tip: if your frosting is too thin, just add a bit more powdered sugar and if too thick, just add a bit more milk. Step 6 Once your cake is completely cool, add the frosting (and any toppings you chose) to the cake and serve! Previous Next

< Back Flatbread Prep Time: 20 Minutes Cook Time: 8-10 Minutes Serves: 6 Servings Level: You Got This! About the Recipe Our vegan flatbreads, made with a hint of natural sweetness and our organic Everyday Baking Mix, offer the perfect balance of flavor and texture. Soft and versatile, they can be enjoyed pillowy-soft or baked to a crispy finish, making them ideal for wraps, dipping, or topping with your favorite spreads and veggies. Whether you’re making a quick lunch or a gourmet appetizer, these flatbreads come together in no time and deliver delicious results every time. Simple, oil-free (unless you want as a topping!), and irresistibly satisfying! Ingredients 2 cups Everyday Baking Mix 1 cup cold water 1 teaspoon maple syrup Optional: olive oil and herbs, garlic, or seeds for topping s Preparation Step 1 Preheat the oven to 400°F and place a pizza stone, oven-safe cast iron pan, or a baking sheet inside to warm as the oven preheats. Step 2 Prepare the dough: Place the Everyday Baking Mix in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine the water and maple syrup . Gradually incorporate the wet mixture into the bowl with the Instant Mix. Next, move the dough ball to a floured surface and knead it approximately 10 times until it is smooth. Cover it with a clean dish cloth and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. *If the dough seems dry, you may need to add more water until you can form a cohesive ball. Step 3 Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each one into a disc about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick . Transfer the discs onto parchment paper for easier handling. Carefully place them onto the preheated pizza stone, cast iron pan, or baking sheet, and bake for 8–10 minute s, or until you see browning. * For softer flatbreads, roll the dough slightly thicker and reduce the baking time. For crispier flatbreads, roll it thinner and bake a little longer. Step 4 Remove from oven and place on a wire rack and then cover with a dishcloth to keep them chewy without the bottom getting soggy. Repeat for remaining flatbreads. *Optional: After each flatbread is removed from the oven, brush lightly with olive oil and add any toppings (e.g., herbs, garlic, or seeds), or keep them plain for wraps or dipping. Step 5 Serve warm and enjoy! *Store in an airtight container to keep them soft. Previous Next
