25 Awesome Puff Pastry Recipes for Vegans


25 Awesome vegan puff pastry recipes that are easy to make using ready made puff pastry.

I don't know about you, but I love puff pastry.

I learned how to make puff pastry from scratch at school with my very strict and old fashioned cookery teacher. It seemed to take hours to make. All the careful folding and then more folding. She watched our every move like a hawk. We didn't dare make a mistake. Although I do remember a dish hitting the floor once. I think it was an apple crumble. She was not happy!

These days I buy ready made puff pastry  from the supermarket and if I can get away with it I buy ready rolled puff pastry. It's a godsend for lazy busy mums and such good quality too. Just take it out of the fridge 15-20 minutes before you need it and gently unroll it. It even comes on greaseproof paper you can work on and then transfer it onto a baking tray, so you don't have to flour or grease your tray to prevent sticking. Excellent product!

Is puff pastry vegan?


Thankfully a lot of the puff pastry and shortcrust pastry available in the shops these days is suitable for vegans. Avoid those that say all butter and check on the back for the ingredients. I buy Jus Rol which is suitable for vegans and available in a block or ready rolled sheets of pastry. They do a good range of vegan pastry and pastry items such as croissants and pizza dough, just check the ingredients.

I'm always playing about with new recipes using puff, but I love looking for inspiration among my blogger friends too, so I've pulled together 25 of the best vegan puff pastry recipes for you to try> I just know you will leave inspired and will love them as much as I do.

What about shortcrust pastry, is it vegan?


Once again Jus Rol come to the rescue with vegan shortcrust pastry, which is great for making quick pasties, homemade pop tarts, fruit and savoury pies. Shortcrust pastry is very easy to make, but it is handy to have a packet of ready-made shortcrust pastry in the fridge for quick meals.

The eagle eyed among you will spot that I've included one recipe using shortcrust pastry. It's a good one, so I decided to include it. It could be made with puff, but wouldn't be easy to hold, so bookmark or pin it for next time you buy a block of vegan shortcrust pastry. See if you can spot it.

  2. Some really lovely ideas there Jac, need to bookmark lots of these. The first time I did 'Veganuary' I didn't realise shop-bought puff pastry was vegan until the last few days of the month, and it was such a revelation! Thanks for including my Bombay Potato Bites.

  4. I'm intrigued as to how puff pastry can be vegan? Isn't there butter in it? Admittedly I've never perused the ingredients on ready mad stuff. Great selection of ideas whether you're vegan on not.

    1. Same as flapjacks Claire. Have a look next time you pick up a packet of jus-rol. Only homemade tends to have butter in it and yes fab recipes.

  5. This is a great post and a big reminder to myself to get some puff pastry next time i'm at the shops. I haven't used it over the summer much at all, but it's such a staple for quick term-time after-school suppers and desserts. Thanks!

I have a love/hate relationship with these kinds of posts...I love that the recipes are all collected in one place and that they're all so delicious looking and sounding....I hate that I know I'll never get around to trying them all and so I can't decide where to start! 😉

    1. Most puff pastry is ok for vegans. Look out for Jus Roll and supermarket own brands. EVERYONE needs puff pastry in their life.
