Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 240 g All-purpose flour
- 60 g Whole wheat flour
- 150 g Coconut sugar
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 120 g Unsweetened applesauce
- 60 ml Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 50 g Brown sugar
- 40 g Rolled oats
- 30 g Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans)
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside for 5 minutes to curdle into vegan buttermilk.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the vegan buttermilk, applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining the brown sugar, rolled oats, chopped nuts, and ground cinnamon.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your healthy vegan coffee cake!
