How to make Baked Cheese Broccoli Vegan Casserole
- Firstly, I made the cheese sauce in this recipe by combining lightened coconut milk and coconut flour.
- Secondly, I added powdered cashew nuts.
- Next, I seasoned it with mild spices and herbs.
- Later, I layered all the ingredients and baked it in a pre-heated oven.
My idea was to include broccoli as the main ingredient in my recipe because I have been struggling to include broccoli into my family’s diet.
I perfected this recipe in merely couple of practice and succeeded in feeding broccoli to my family.
However, I love broccoli and I make sure to eat this super nutritious vegetable at least once every day.
Now with Baked Cheese Broccoli Vegan Casserole on our menu my family also loves broccoli. They also enjoy this healthy vegetable, not everyday, but once every week.

I am always very happy and satisfied if my family eats balanced nutrition and healthy food. It feels like I am on top of the world. I am sure many of you would relate to my feelings.
I would love to hear about how you feel when your family eats healthy vegetables happily 🙂 !!!!!!!!!!
