How to Make Vegan Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Preheat

First things first, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Dry Ingredients

Sift together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl: oat flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Water + Milk

Heat the water and milk until warm enough to prevent the coconut oil from solidifying once it’s mixed with these two ingredients.

Wet Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the wet ingredients: water, milk, coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup and vanilla.

Combine

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together until combined and no flour patches remain. Fold in raisins and walnuts.

Pour Batter

Pour your vegan quick bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth into an even layer and dot with raisins and walnuts.

Bake, Cool and Enjoy

Bake for about 50 minutes. Cool completely and slice. Enjoy the best gluten free cinnamon raisin bread ever!

Amy Mae says, “Another amazing quick bread recipe. My kids love it too! Can’t wait until it’s “seasonally acceptable” to start making your pumpkin bread again. (Honestly I would have made it today but I didn’t have any pumpkin in the house lol. Kinda glad because this recipe is so good too.)”

Claribel says, “I’ve been a loyal Beaming Baker follower for a while now, and I’ve made her breads several times! They’re just so tasty! This one is great for breakfast or a snack. I spread some homemade chia seed mixed berry jam on it, and it’s heavenly. I added nutmeg and cardamom and pecans. I omitted the raisins and walnuts. I used grapeseed oil instead of coconut oil because it’s just what we had on hand. Delicious!”

Debbie says, “This bread is delicious! I am going to have to try your other quick breads!”

Kami says, “I’ve made this 3x—I absolutely love it! Please do more quick bread recipes. :)”

Description

Vegan Cinnamon Raisin Quick Bread Recipe: rich, moist vegan quick bread bursting with juicy raisins under a blanket of warm cinnamon flavor. Gluten Free. Made with simple, whole ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups gluten free oat flourif using homemade, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)
  • ½ cup finely ground, blanched almond flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Add-in Ingredients

  • ¾ cup raisins
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Optional Topping

  • 1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
  • ½ tablespoon raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  3. Add water and milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just warm. This will prevent the melted coconut oil from solidifying once mixed with these liquids.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: water, milk, oil, sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
  5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in raisins and walnuts.
  6. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan. Using a rubber spatula, smooth batter into an even layer. Optionally, sprinkle with walnuts. Tuck a few raisins into the batter. Lightly press toppings into the loaf.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes. Mine took 50 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness—once it comes out clean with just a few moist bits, it’s done.
  8. Allow to cool on a cooling rack for 1 hour. Lift out of pan, transferring loaf along with parchment paper directly onto the cooling rack. Allow to finish cooling for 1-2 hours. Slice loaf into 10-12 slices. Enjoy!

Notes

Room Temp + Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator, or in a cool, dark environment. Best the first 3 days.

To Freeze: store in an airtight container or bag, in the freezer for up to 1-2 months. Allow to thaw for about 30 minutes at room temperature before enjoying. Or, heat in the microwave in 15-second increments until just warm.

Using the wrong flour ratio can result in a dense and gummy loaf.

How long should you let gluten-free bread rise? ›

Leave the batter right in the mixing bowl. Or if you need your bowl for another purpose, scrape the sticky batter into a large measuring cup, or another bowl. Cover the bowl or cup, and let the thick batter rise for 1 hour.
