Crusty, wholesome, and ready in under an hour, this Vegan Brown Soda Bread is a delightful spin on the traditional Irish classic—completely dairy-free and egg-free! Made with a blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flour, it delivers hearty flavor and a satisfying texture, while rolled oats and a touch of brown sugar add a nutty sweetness. The combination of soy milk and apple cider vinegar ensures the perfect rise, transforming your kitchen into an old-world Irish bakery. With no yeast required and minimal kneading, this foolproof recipe is ideal for busy weeknights or last-minute gatherings. Serve it warm with vegan butter or jam for a comforting, homemade treat that pairs beautifully with soups, stews, or your morning coffee!
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and lightly grease a baking sheet or a round baking tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Mix the dry ingredients well to distribute the baking soda evenly.
In a separate bowl or measuring jug, mix the soy milk with the apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the mixture to thicken slightly as it curdles.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the soy milk and vinegar mixture.
Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or your hands until you achieve a soft dough. Be careful not to over-knead the dough; you simply want the ingredients to come together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round loaf, approximately 2 inches thick.
Place the loaf on your prepared baking sheet or tin. Using a sharp knife, make an X shape incision across the top of the dough. This allows the heat to penetrate and helps the bread bake evenly.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the loaf has risen and sounds hollow when tapped on the base.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. The loaf should cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite vegan butter or jam.
