I am making a sweet recipe Crunchy Peanut Butter Bonbons http://www.chooseveg.com/peanutbutterbonbons. I need vegan breadcrumbs for the recipe, non seasoned. Anyone know if Coles breadcrumbs are vegan? I am unable to get organic ones. A lot of breadcrumbs contain milk, tuna or something called 'amylase' from what I've found. Amylase could be vegan or non-vegan right? This was the definition I got from the internet...

What is amylase?
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into a simpler form. It can be derived from bacterial, fungal, or animal (pig-derived) sources. Typically vegan.

Still doesn't sound too good anyway. So does anyone know if Coles breadcrumbs are vegan and if not are there any other breadcrumbs that would be suitable to use?

Thanks

Are you still buying vegan bread crumbs? I have for years, but truth be told, it's hard to find them vegan and if you do, it's hard to find them not also filled with unhealthy ingredients (hydrogenated this or that).

So now I make them myself. And it couldn't be easier!

All you need to do is take a couple of slices of your favorite vegan bread out and let it sit on the counter in the open air for about 30 minutes.

Then put it into your food processor and chop it up finely.

At this point you can use them as is, or you can toast them (like if you are topping mac and cheese) by putting them in a frying pan with a little oil, or you can mix in some other seasonings (salt, garlic powder, etc.).

You can store them in an air tight container to use later, or freeze them so they last longer.

Once you see how easy it is to make them yourself (and cheap) you may never buy store-bought ones again!

When used as a food additive, amylase has E number E1100, and may be derived from swine pancreas or mould mushroom.
