Almond Bacon
Wednesday, January 6, 2021
This almond bacon is a lovely alternative to the real thing. It is super tasty and adds just the right texture. Perfect for vegans and vegetarians.
This almond bacon creation definitely is the biz. I have been experimenting with different kinds of bacon alternatives with varying success. Using aubergine, definitely looks more like bacon but the almonds just give the crunch that I crave.
I do love bacon, but am trying to reduce my meat intake and am looking more at meat-free options. I’m really happy with this and have been adding it to everything!
