Scale

Bread Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1/2 cup melted vegan butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 2 1/4 cups oat flour

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 2 oz vegan cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp softened vegan butter
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the apple bread.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and unsweetened almond or oat milk. Stir well until fully incorporated.
  3. Add Leavening and Spices: Add the baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the rising agents and spice.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the quick oats and oat flour to the wet mix. Stir gently until the batter is well combined and smooth.
  5. Prepare the Loaf Pan: Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick baking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly. Optionally, top with thinly sliced apples for decoration or skip this step if applying the cinnamon cream cheese frosting later.
  6. Bake: Place the loaf pan into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on your oven and pan type, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Make Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting: While the bread bakes, mix the vegan cream cheese, softened vegan butter, powdered sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  8. Cool and Frost: Once the bread is baked and has cooled slightly, spread the cinnamon cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious apple bread!

Notes

  • You can substitute oat milk for almond milk if preferred for a different flavor profile.
  • Using quick oats gives a nice texture; rolled oats can be used but may change the crumb slightly.
  • Ensure the vegan cream cheese is softened to create a smooth frosting.
  • The bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For a nut-free version, confirm that the oat milk and oat flour are produced in nut-free facilities.
