Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wings
Hello & Happy Thursday
After producing upwards of 500 recipes the past few years, there is one recipe that remains to be NUMBER ONE..
and It’s these classic vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wings!
I created this recipe back in 2014 while not even working in my own kitchen. I had seen countless Buffalo cauliflower recipes on Pinterest, but they all looked soggy and just not reminiscent of this classic concept. I had attempted various versions and they all just fell short of what I had hoped for..
Until I made this one!
What I love about this dish, is everything! It requires minimal ingredients, effort, is affordable, uses no vegan egg, has texture with the Panko, crispy, it’s perf for any season, perf for entertaining, non vegan approved, can easily be made in bulk, and just is hands down my fave Buffalo Cauliflower Wings!!
If you’re searching for the best Buffalo Cauliflower Wings, that delivers with both taste and texture, you have to try this recipe!!

Hello – I tried these out and they were delicious but the 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce was not nearly enough to coat all the cauliflower. I was wondering if there’s a special trick to make it coat that much.
Just tried these last night for a tapas date night for two. We consider ourselves both foodies. We eat paleo and never turn a good vegan dish down when we find it and this is defintly a great one! Came out absolutly perfect. Fail proof and relish!!!
thanks for the recipe and keep on posting.
Tried it and loved it! Thank you for sharing!
I did not make it vegan because I wanted to use ingredients we already had (regular milk and butter).
Amazing! Still good to hear! You can always try dairy free next time lol
I will 🙂
Omg this is absolutely incredible and my new fav recipe! ??
Yay! Thanks for sharing Erin!

Love this easy, tasty recipe!
Very easy and absolutely delicious…and I’m not even vegan :). Searched recipes to make for friends that are vegan and now make this regularly. We do make a double batch of the sauce but you could absolutely do it without the additional.
