    Easy 7 ingredient vegan self-saucing pudding with a delicious blackcurrant sauce. The recipe uses only common pantry staples and take only 30 minutes to prepare and bake!

    Self-saucing puddings in mini ramekins with purple jam oozing out.

    This is seriously easiest vegan pudding recipe! With a few simple ingredients, you'll get a dessert which hits the spot, comforting yet not too heavy.

    Ingredients to make this vegan pudding

    This recipe uses common pantry staples including:

    • Plain aka all-purpose flour
    • Plant-based milk such as soy, coconut or almond
    • Granulated sugar such as cane or coconut
    • Liquid oil such as sunflower
    • Baking powder
    • Vanilla extract (I used homemade)
    • Blackcurrant conserve (I used Bonne Maman) or conserve/jam of choice
    • Water
    • 4-6 mini ramekins (I used these mini Le Creuset ramekins)

    Since this is a vegan recipe, it is dairy-free and egg-free!

    Ingredients and equipment for the easy vegan self-saucing pudding.

    Making the 'sauce' for the self-saucing pudding

    First, combine the blackcurrant conserve and a little water in a bowl. Then divide the jammy mixture into 4-6 ramekins.

    Some self-saucing pudding recipes ask for boiling water. I tried the puddings with and without boiling water and honestly... it doesn't make a difference. If we can take a shortcut and have the same result, why not?!

    Pouring the blackcurrant jam into mini ramekins for the vegan self-saucing puddings.

    Making the one-bowl vegan pudding mix

    Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix until there are no big lumps. We don't want acidic bits of baking powder in our puddings! Then add all the wet ingredients and mix until combined.

    Your batter might be a little lumpy but as long as it's not lumps of dry flour or baking powder, it doesn't matter!

    Then spoon the batter into your ramekins, around ¾ of the way.

    Spooning the pudding batter into the ramekins.

    To bake your puddings, just pop them in your oven as is!

    You don't need a bain-marie or tray of water in your oven. I tried them with a bain-marie and it made the puddings too stodgy. These puddings bake perfectly without any additional water in the oven.

    How to serve vegan puddings

    These puddings are wonderful served with something creamy, such as:

    • Dairy-free yogurt
    • Whipped dairy-free cream or pouring cream
    • Vanilla or chocolate ice cream

    Ingredients

    Sauce

    • ¼ cup (80g) Bonne Maman blackcurrant conserve, or jam of choice
    • 2 tablespoons (30g) water, room temperature

    Pudding dry ingredients

    • 1 ¼ cup (155g) all-purpose plain flour
    • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar, or coconut sugar, to taste (note 1)
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder

    Pudding wet ingredients

    • ⅔ cup (165g) dairy-free milk
    • 3 tablespoons (45g) light-tasting vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
    • To make the sauce: Combine the conserve and water in a small bowl. Divide the mixture into 4-6 mini ramekins.
    • To make the pudding: Add all the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl. Whisk until there are no big lumps of flour or baking powder. Add all the wet ingredients to the bowl. Mix until combined and there are no more lumps of dry ingredients.
    • Using a medium-size spoon, spoon the batter into the mini ramekins. The blackcurrant sauce will float up the sides of the ramekins which is fine!
    • Bake the puddings in the oven for 15-20 minutes. They are ready when the tops are golden and a skewer can be inserted into a pudding and there is no wet batter on it.
    • Enjoy the puddings immediately with a scoop or ice cream or plant-based yoghurt. Leftovers (if any) can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Notes

    1. Coconut sugar will work for this recipe but it will make your pudding slightly brown and give it a caramel taste. The specified amount of sugar (2 tablespoons) will create a slightly sweet pudding which complements the very sweet jam. Feel free to add more sugar to taste.

      Love the sound of this, especially as I have a ton of blackcurrant jam that needs using up. Would it work if I make it in one pudding bowl, rather than the ramekins?

        This recipe is definitely great for using up excess jam! I haven't tried it in one larger pudding bowl but when I do that for other recipes, it works though it can be a tiny bit more dense. To make up for that, try adding 1/2 teaspoon extra baking powder. Hope that helps!

      Hi Anthea,
      Is there a way to turn the pudding part chocolate flavor? How much cacao powder should I mix in? My partner is chocoholic.

      This looks amazing as it is too. I will bake this soon. Thanks Anthea & take care.

        Oooh yes, I've done it before with this recipe :). I think I used about 3 tbsp cocoa powder (take it away from the flour) and I might've increased the sugar as my cocoa powder was slightly bitter. I hope that helps!

      Hi Anthea, Any chance I can make this with paper liners in a muffin pan? I don't have ramekins.

        Hi Mimi, the puddings will work in a muffin pan but the 'sauce' may not withstand the liners. Oven safe cups will work too. Hope that helps!

      I tried these for the first time this morning as a fun breakfast & I’m in love! They were so quick to make and didn’t use heaps of ingredients/bowls so not a lot of clean up too. I couldn’t find the blackberry conserve Anthea used so I did mine with the cherry one which worked wonderfully. I was so impressed with how you can eat these mini puddings with coconut yoghurt for breakfast, or a scoop of ice cream for dessert. Highly recommend & thank you Anthea for a beautiful recipe! ? xx

        Thanks so much for the lovely feedback Orli! I love the idea of a cherry conserve - I've gotta try that next time. And glad you could enjoy them for breakfast AND dessert (sounds like my kind of treat haha)! Thanks again xo
