Hi there, Reader
Drumroll, please...It's time to meet the seriously delicious stars of 2025!
These 10 recipes, all published in 2025, are the ones that you made and loved the most. The ones you visited over and over again, raved about in the comments on Facebook, shared pictures and videos of on Instagram, or sent me emails about, saying, "OMG this was so good!"
If you haven't tried any of these popular recipes yet, now is your time!
At the end, I've also included an honourable mention of a recipe from 2022 that has managed to rise through the ranks this year and become the most popular recipe on AVV. Can you guess what one it is? π€

And The Honourable Mention!π€©
This Nutritional Yeast recipe was published in 2022, but in 2025 it has risen up through the ranks to become THE most popular recipe on my entire website. And that's why it deserves an honourable mention! I love that it's become such a well-loved recipe and staple in your lives!
