Lol. My mom! What can I say, she likes to keep me on my toes! 😉
I originally shared this recipe back in November of 2018, and since then it’s become a bit of a thing. And by “thing” I mean a reader favorite. Have you tried this vegan quick bread yet?
If you try this vegan cinnamon raisin quick bread, leave a comment below and let me know what you think! You know I seriously love hearing from you.
In the meantime, why don’t we get super-festive, super-fall-ish and make a fresh, warm loaf of cinnamon raisin bread together? 🙂 Let’s bake this!
How to Make Vegan Cinnamon Raisin Bread
Preheat
First things first, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Dry Ingredients
Sift together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl: oat flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Water + Milk
Heat the water and milk until warm enough to prevent the coconut oil from solidifying once it’s mixed with these two ingredients.
Wet Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the wet ingredients: water, milk, coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup and vanilla.
Combine
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together until combined and no flour patches remain. Fold in raisins and walnuts.
Pour Batter
Pour your vegan quick bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth into an even layer and dot with raisins and walnuts.
Bake, Cool and Enjoy
Bake for about 50 minutes. Cool completely and slice. Enjoy the best gluten free cinnamon raisin bread ever!

Amy Mae says, “Another amazing quick bread recipe. My kids love it too! Can’t wait until it’s “seasonally acceptable” to start making your pumpkin bread again. (Honestly I would have made it today but I didn’t have any pumpkin in the house lol. Kinda glad because this recipe is so good too.)”
Claribel says, “I’ve been a loyal Beaming Baker follower for a while now, and I’ve made her breads several times! They’re just so tasty! This one is great for breakfast or a snack. I spread some homemade chia seed mixed berry jam on it, and it’s heavenly. I added nutmeg and cardamom and pecans. I omitted the raisins and walnuts. I used grapeseed oil instead of coconut oil because it’s just what we had on hand. Delicious!”
Debbie says, “This bread is delicious! I am going to have to try your other quick breads!”
Kami says, “I’ve made this 3x—I absolutely love it! Please do more quick bread recipes. :)”

Description
Vegan Cinnamon Raisin Quick Bread Recipe: rich, moist vegan quick bread bursting with juicy raisins under a blanket of warm cinnamon flavor. Gluten Free. Made with simple, whole ingredients.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups gluten free oat flour – if using homemade, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)
- 1/2 cup finely ground, blanched almond flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add-in Ingredients
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Optional Topping
- 1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add water and milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just warm. This will prevent the melted coconut oil from solidifying once mixed with these liquids.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: water, milk, oil, sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in raisins and walnuts.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared pan. Using a rubber spatula, smooth batter into an even layer. Optionally, sprinkle with walnuts. Tuck a few raisins into the batter. Lightly press toppings into the loaf.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes. Mine took 50 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness—once it comes out clean with just a few moist bits, it’s done.
- Allow to cool on a cooling rack for 1 hour. Lift out of pan, transferring loaf along with parchment paper directly onto the cooling rack. Allow to finish cooling for 1-2 hours. Slice loaf into 10-12 slices. Enjoy!

What can I substitute for coconut oil? Allergic to coconut.
Hi CharlieAnn! I’ve had some readers use avocado oil instead of coconut oil in some of my recipes with good results, but I haven’t tried it myself with this recipe. Let me know how it turns out! 🙂
This couldn’t look any more perfect!
This needs to happen at my house very soon!I’m in love with this bread!
Haha yes it does! . Hope you enjoy it Erin!
This raisin bread looks so healthy and delicious! This is in my future!
Thanks Catalina! What a tasty future it’ll be. 😉
I’d love a piece of this right now! It looks amazing!
Make it two! 😉 Thank you!
Looks DELICIOUS! Need to make ASAP!
Thanks! Let me know what you think!
Oh my gosh, I’m totally drooling over this goodness! Looks so tasty and yummy, need to try this!
Yay!!! Thanks Melanie!
I can’t wait to try this! Not only does it look amazing but I bet it makes the house smell amazing too!
Oh gosh—yes it does!! It was all I could do to wait to try it. Hehe!
This quick bread looks absolutely scrumptious. I would love to make it for the holidays with dried cranberries instead of raisins. Great recipe!
Oh, I love the sound of this bread with cranberries! Enjoy. 🙂
Such a gorgeous loaf – I see why it’s your mom’s fav – a slice of this and a big mocha and am in heaven!
Thank you! Seriously!! What a tasty combo. 🙂
Such a gorgeous loaf! The texture is so spot on, I wouldn’t have thought it was GF! I have to make this for my Mom! She is gf and df! So this is perfect! Thanks!
Thanks so much, Beth! The texture is my fave part. I hope you and your mom love this! 🙂
This loaf looks like the best way to celebrate the holidays. This is the perfect gift to give when you love creating something from the heart. I will have to make a few loaves so I can save one for myself 🙂
It totally is! 🙂 I’m loving your plan of making several loaves (maybe a few to keep for yourself)! Hehe
I have an oat allergy. Could I use Quinoa flour instead? And would I use the same amount? Thank you!!
Hi Jenny! I’m not sure about quinoa flour since I haven’t tried it before. How about gluten free all purpose flour?
Any substitute for the almond flour that anyone hasn’t tried? I cannot eat almonds. The recipe looks delicious and I love baking with oat flour! Thanks!
Hi Nicole! Try subbing the almond flour with 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons oat flour. You might need to play around with it to get just the right texture. Enjoy!
I also need to substitute almond flour with something… I didnt understand “1/4 + 2 tablespoons oat flour”..is that 2 and 1/4 tablespoons? How about using amaranth or coconut flour?
Hi Sylvia, you’d add in an additional 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons oat flour. I can’t speak on amaranth as I haven’t tried it. I also wouldn’t recommend coconut flour–it’s very, very absorbent and will most likely ruin the texture of the bread. Good luck! 🙂
Thank you for your reply. I will give it a try soon!
Could I use all 1-1 gluten free baking flour instead?? Looks delicious, thanks!
Hi Eva! I haven’t tried it with this recipe, but other readers have done that with my other quick bread recipes with good results. Let me know how it turns out! 🙂
The texture on this bread looks perfect! The flavors sound great for next week. Can’t wait to try it!
The texture is one of my fave parts! Right next to that amazing flavor combo! .
ohhhhhh this looks GOOOOD!
You know it Rebecca! ..
I would love a big slice of this right now! that looks marvelous and hearty!
Haha oh yeah it is! ☺️ Always hits the spot!
This cinnamon raisin bread looks so scrumptious!! I love that it’s vegan and gluten-free! What a beautiful texture! I can’t wait to make a loaf or two or three! 🙂
Oh yes, the texture is amazing! . Happy baking Elaine! .
I have to try this recipe. It’s not very often that I see a cinnamon raising QUICK bread. And I especially like that this one is so healthy!
I know! This recipe is so fun to make, hope you enjoy it Jill!
