Vegan Cranberry Date Bread
This delicious Vegan Cranberry Date Bread is perfectly sweet and easy to make in one bowl. Nut-free and easy to make gluten-free too!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates chopped, pitted
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp molasses
- ¼ cup oil
- ½ cup oat milk
- 1 ½ cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Begin by chopping your dates and soaking them in a fresh, hot cup of coffee.
- Once the dates have soaked for about 3 minutes, drain the coffee and discard. Add the soaked dates to a large mixing bowl with the sugar, molasses, oil, oat milk, vanilla extract, and cranberries. Stir to combine.
- Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until a dough has formed. This dough will be thick.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled or parchment-lined bread pan.
- Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Tip: If you have a large heat-resistant measuring cup (like pyrex) and a coffee machine capable of brewing a single cup, you can brew a fresh cup of coffee right into the measuring cup with the chopped dates to soak them.
- Not Vegan? Swap the oil with melted butter. Or swap the plant milk for dairy milk.
- Oil-free? Swap the oil with equal parts applesauce. The bread may take a few extra minutes to bake fully.
- Gluten-free? Swap with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour replacement and choose a certified gluten-free plant milk and you're all set.
