Servings: 8 -12 servings
Ingredients
- dry
- 2 cups fine oat flour or gf flour blend
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- wet
- 1/2 cup vegan milk + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 flax eggs 2 tbsp flax eggs + 6 tbsp warm water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- crumble
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1-2 tbsp oat flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees while you prep batter. You'll need a lined rectangular baking dish for this.
- In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients and break down any clumps. Create an opening in the center of the bowl and add wet ingredients. Using a spatula, stir to combine until a smooth batter forms.
- Transfer batter into linked baking dish.
- In a small bowl, use your hands to combine coconut butter, coconut sugar and oat flour. Use a pinching motion until a crumbly texture forms. Sprinkle this on top of the loaf.
- Bake the loaf for about 30-45 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through. Use a toothpick to check that the center is cooked through.
- Wait until completely cooled to cut slices. Enjoy!
Notes
Expert Tips
- Crumble Topping: If you're going for more accurately similar results in flavour, I'd skip the coconut butter and consider vegan unsalted butter only because the coconut butter will add a very mild coconut flavour.
- Equipment: I made this recipe with a large bowl and a whisk, which I found to be just fine. If you prefer to use a standing mixer with the whisk attachment, you can also do that.
Serving Tips
- This pancake bread should be served in thick slices, toasted before eating, and drizzled with additional maple syrup and a little bit of vegan butter.
- It’s the perfect brunch dish that your friends and family will love!
