Equipment

1 Medium sized loaf pan
Parchment paper

Ingredients

2 cups gluten-free oat flour
1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
1/2 cup smooth almond butter
1/2 cup maple syrup (or substitute date paste)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the almond butter, maple syrup, unsweetened plant-based milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to a mixing bowl and use a whisk to mix well.
Add the oat flour and baking powder and whisk to combine.
Transfer the batter to a medium sized loaf pan (mine is 9.25 x 5.25 x 2.75 inches) lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out looking clean.
Let the cake cool to room temperature before removing from the pan and serving.

Notes

You can easily make gluten-free oat flour at home in a food processor or blender - just add rolled oats and process for 2-3 minutes.
To add an extra layer of texture and flavor to this oat flour cake, add 1/2 cup each of chopped pecans, walnuts, raisins, and/or chopped dark chocolate.
