Vegan Cinnamon Coffee Cake Loaf made with oat flour for an easy gluten-free breakfast loaf!
The last recipe before Thanksgiving is here!
This Vegan Cinnamon Coffee Cake Loaf is my most recent sweet bread recipe over here and it is a total game changer you guys. It reminds me of an oatmeal crumb cake except it is plant-based and not filled with a ton of refined sugar or even regular flour.
Cinnamon Coffee Cake finally has a healthy cousin now that actually tastes good and is made with simple and delicious ingredients!
The best part about this loaf is how moist it cakes. Yes I know, gross! Moist has a bad rep but there are times that there just isn’t another word that can describe the loaf as accurately!
I use oat flour in this Vegan Cinnamon Coffee Cake Loaf. Most people don’t realize that you can easily make your own oat flour at home! No need to buy it. I simply take oats and add them to my blender or food processor and blend for a couple of minutes until it is processed into a fine flour-like form.
I used One Degree Organic Foods Sprouted Rolled Oats to make the one in this recipe. One Degree Organic Foods is an amazing small family business with one big goal. They are all about sustainable farming and local foods. They bring us food straight from the farm to our kitchen. We can trace where every ingredient in every one of their products comes from with this awesome traceability technology using the code found on the package!
They only source ingredients from organic farmers who use only plant-based methods and they have 100% traceability back to them. HOW COOL?!
One Degree Organic Foods makes a variety of amazing products ranging from cereals to flour, breads, seeds and tortillas! I am partnering with them over the next year to bring you guys a variety of delicious recipes using their products. Everything is truly amazing and I am so honored to be collaborating with them!
I use their Organic Sprouted Rolled Oats in this recipe. They sprout their gluten-free oats before to make it easier for us to digest. Plus sprouting grains and nuts also helps boast more nutrients from the product too!
After you have a chance to bake this Vegan Cinnamon Coffee Cake Loaf, I have a few more dreamy loafs on the blog for you here.

Francisca
how can this be a coffee cake w/o coffeee?
Rachel
lol! most traditional coffee cakes actually don’t have coffee.. i think it is named coffee cafe because you drink with coffee??
Samuel tancioco
Yes,im also looking for the coffee
Morgann
Do you have suggestions for substitutes to make this tree but free? It sounds great, but my tree but allergy might disagree! Would it work with regular milk and something in place if the almond flour?
Morgann
Tree *nut – obviously auto correct thought it was being funny ??
Rachel
can you do coconut milk? any milk works! and sub more oat flour for almond or use gluten-free flour! it may be a little different but keep me posted. it should work. xoxo
Morgann
Coconut is a go! I will try it out and keep you posted!
Lauren
Hi! I would love to make this today but I am out of applesauce! Is there anything I can use instead? Thanks!
Rachel
hmm maybe banana? or canned pumpkin??
Carolyn
Can you use packaged oat flour for the cake instead of grinding your own oats? If so, how much flour should you use since the amount in the recipe is for whole oats?
Rachel
yes! 1 and 3/4 cups oats = 1 and 3/4 cups oat flour
Sasha
How many cups of flour should the 1 and 3/4 cup of oats make? If I’m just starting with flour and don’t need to grind the oats. Thanks!
Rachel
its the same 🙂 1 and 3/4 cups oats = 1 and 3/4 cups oat flour
Sasha Cohen
Thanks!! Excited to bake it this weekend!!

Hello! I LOVE, LOVE your recipes!! Thank you so much for the great work and for sharing your talents!! I’m wondering if you would consider including nutrition facts with the recipes? My husband has diabetes and I have stage four cancer and we need nutrition facts for everything we eat! 🙂
Thanks!
Rachel

Hello can i sub maple syrup for the coconut sugar. If so whats is it the same amount? Can’t wait to try out this recipe!!
Rachel
I haven’t tried another sweetener but I’d sub 1:1. It may be a bit more liquid-y so perhaps add more oat flour then! LMK how it goes!

Hi Rachel…this looks great. I think I will make for company this weekend…if we don’t have a problem with eggs how many would you use instead of applesauce or does that change the recipe?
Rachel
hi there! i have only tested this recipe how it is listed above 🙂 applesauce isn’t a sub for eggs! applesauce just gives it extra moisture

Super delicious! My sister was recently put on a protocol by her naturopath that involves no gluten, no dairy, no eggs, plus she’s vegan. This was the perfect healthy treat for her and the rest of the family who don’t have the same restrictions!
Rachel
awwwww <3

This is delicious! I doubled the recipe and made it in a brownie pan. I am trying to cut down on sugar after reading sugar proof 🙈 so I only did 1/4 cup of coconut sugar even though it called for 1 cup after doubling the recipe. With the apple sauce and topping it is sweet enough and still delicious.
