A simple vegan coffee cake recipe is easier than ever to make! 2 bowls, a whisk, and one pan are all you need to throw this together and put in the oven in minutes! Light, fluffy, and warm, it's a perfect breakfast treat that is plant-based.
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F/180°C. To prepare the pan, line an 8"x8" baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond milk with vinegar, brown sugar, apple puree, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Whisk these ingredients until they are combined.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter is formed.
Pour the batter into the lined baking pan.
For the crumbly topping, mix flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Using your fingers, work in butter until the mixture resembles crumbs.
Evenly sprinkle the crumbled topping over the batter in the pan, then place the dish in the oven. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Notes
The apple puree used in this recipe can be unsweetened applesauce or apple butter Use what you prefer.
For a thinner cake, use a 9"x13" baking dish and reduce the cooking time by 15 minutes.
Add additional texture by folding in ½ cup of diced apples just before baking.
Serve this alone or with fresh whipped cream, non-dairy vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
