Hey you!

Do you have a gratitude practice?

Lately I’ve been enjoying writing down 5 things I’m grateful for each morning that happened within the past 24 hours.

This practice encourages me to continuously look for the good stuff that happens each day.

And these aren’t life-altering statements, friends, these are small every day things that spark joy.

Like, today, I gushed about my morning matcha, a phone call with my sister, my freshly rotated mattress, my Roomba, and my first day wearing boots.

What would you write today?

Tomorrow, I might write how grateful I am that this Vegan & Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread came out of my oven.

Because I have so darn much gratitude for this sweet cinnamon loaf.

It’s sweet, hearty, and easy to make with just 1-bowl and plenty of cinnamon and raisins.

Did you grow up eating Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Raisin Bread, too?

But I bet you didn’t eat it quite like I did.

I was pretty extra about my cinnamon raisin toast ritual.

Instead of grabbing the next logical slice of bread, I dug to the back, pulled out several slices, selected the one or two with the most raisins and returned the rest back to the now lopsided loaf.

Everyone knows that the slices with the most raisins are the best!

When the toaster popped I smeared margarine on the browned bread and took a big crunchy bite before the buttery puddles melted.

YUM.

Why Make Vegan Cinnamon Raisin Bread

This Vegan & Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread is a little less table bread and a lot more dense bakery- style bread.

But I think you’ll agree after a bite that this is nothing to complain about.

It’s hearty, naturally sweet, and packed with protein and fiber.

The recipe is also vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, and refined sugar free with just 10 plant-based ingredients.

Oh, and I added plenty of raisins to the recipe so you’ll never have to dig for the best slice; they all are!

What You Need to Make Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Here’s what you need:

  • flax egg (1 TBSP flaxseed + 3 TBSP filtered water)
  • gluten-free oat flour
  • super-fine almond flour 
  • ground cinnamon
  • baking powder
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • unsweetened almond milk
  • almond butter 
  • MTO Kombucha Cinnamon
  • unrefined coconut sugar
  • raisins

This simple bread begins with a hearty gluten-free oat and almond flour base.

Raisins and coconut sugar sweeten things up and almond butter keeps the loaf super moist yet oil-free.

A “flax egg” binds the batter together without any dairy.

The combination of ground cinnamon and cinnamon kombucha adds the perfect amount of spice!

MTO Kombucha

I used MTO Kombucha Cinnamon to add an extra kick of cinnamon to this bread recipe.

If you’ve never tried adding kombucha to your baked goods, don’t be afraid!

Its bubbly acidity functions the same way vinegar or lemon would in baked goods to aid in rising.

My vegan and gluten-free breads never rise much, but a splash of kombucha doesn’t hurt to take them to new heights.

The sour flavor also balances out the sweetness of this bread.

If you don’t have cinnamon kombucha, another flavor will work, too, but I love creating cinnamon symmetry in this recipe!

Enjoy drinking the rest of the kombucha not used in the recipe.

How to Serve Vegan & Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Enjoy this Vegan & Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread for an easy breakfast bread, snack, or dessert.

It’s hearty enough to serve for a breakfast bread or nutritious snack but sweet enough to also function as a healthful dessert.

I love my bread with extra raisins on top for aesthetics and flavor!

For even more texture, try adding walnuts or almonds when folding in the raisins.

Serve your slices warm with a big smear of almond butter slathered on top.

Enjoy!

Description

Vegan and gluten-free cinnamon raisin bread that’s packed with raisins and texture. Made cinnamon-y with a secret ingredient!


Ingredients

  • 1 flax egg (1 TBSP flaxseed + 3 TBSP filtered water)
  • 2 ¼ cups gluten-free oat flour
  • ½ cup super-fine almond flour 
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of Himalayan sea salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 1 TBSP MTO Kombucha Cinnamon (or sub more unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1/2 cup unrefined coconut sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup raisins (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with with parchment paper or lightly grease with coconut oil. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add the ingredients for your flax egg and allow to gel for ~5 minutes.
  3. Add in the unsweetened milk, almond butter, coconut sugar, and kombucha. Whisk until well incorporated.
  4. Sift in the oat flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder and Himalayan sea salt. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no clumps remain. Fold in the raisins.
  5. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan and use a rubber spatula to smooth the batter into an even layer. Top with optional raisins and press slightly into the batter.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the center of the loaf clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy as is or with a smear or nut butter. Store leftover cinnamon raisin bread in the refrigerator for up to one week and freeze for long term storage.
