Simple Vegan Baking Alternatives

When you think of baking what are the first ingredients that come to mind? Eggs, white flour, white sugar, butter, milk? Well those ingredients are ancient history for this vibrant vegan. I've gathered a few substitutions to make your desserts guilt and cruelty free.
