Easy Vegan Oatmeal Apple Mini Loaves
🌱 Easy Vegan Oatmeal Apple Mini Loaves 🍎
These Easy Vegan Oatmeal Apple Mini Loaves are soft, lightly sweet, and packed with cozy apple-oat flavor. The batter comes together in one bowl, gets spooned into mini loaf molds, and bakes into golden little cakes that are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or packing in lunchboxes.
I love how moist they stay thanks to the grated apple. They’re simple enough for a weekday bake and cute enough to serve when you want something homemade without making a full-size cake. 💚

The Secret to Soft Mini Loaves
Grated apple adds moisture and sweetness without making the batter heavy. A mix of oats and flour gives the loaves a hearty, tender crumb. Don’t overmix once the dry ingredients go in — that’s what keeps them soft instead of dense. Silicone mini loaf molds also make them easy to release once cooled.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Can I bake this as a regular loaf instead? 🍞
Yes. Pour the batter into a greased 8×4-inch loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Can I use oat flour only? 🌾
You can replace the all-purpose flour with extra oat flour, but the loaves will be a little more delicate. Let them cool fully before removing from the molds.
How should I store them? 🧊
Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months.

Ingredients 🛒
- 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats

- ½ cup (100 g) sugar or coconut sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened plant milk
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) neutral oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 large apple, peeled and grated (about 1 cup)

Instructions 👩🍳
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cavity mini loaf silicone mold or line a muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, mix the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the plant milk, oil, vanilla, and lemon juice. Stir until just combined.

Notes & Tips 💡
- Use a sweet-tart apple like Honeycrisp or Pink Lady for the best flavor.
- If the batter looks too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons extra plant milk.
- These taste even better the next day once the apple flavor settles in.
- A light dusting of cinnamon sugar on top before baking gives a pretty finish.
