Vegan Sweet Potato Crumble Bread is the perfect recipe for Fall baking! Full of warming spices, a dense and moist texture with a nutty and sweet crunchy topping. This plant-based Vegan Sweet Potato Bread is a dairy-free spin on the old-fashioned traditional recipe! It's truly great all year round as a tasty and wholesome snack for the whole family.
Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite ingredients to work with in the kitchen. They're a great root vegetable that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes due to their vibrant orange color and mild sweetness.
Similar to pumpkin in texture and flavor, sweet potatoes pair well with the warming spices we all know and love. Compared to pumpkin, sweet potatoes are less watery and thicker, making them ideal for this egg-free Vegan Sweet Potato Crumble Bread recipe.
Today we'll be baking a sweet potato crumble bread that leans towards sweetness without becoming sickening. We're making it a wholesome, soothing treat by adding some chopped nuts for texture and pleasant fall spices.
There are two components to this plant- based baking recipe: The bread batter and the crumble topping.
All of the ingredients are plant-based and easy to find, and you may already have them on hand! You can throw this Vegan Sweet Potato Crumble Bread together in about an hour, with just 10 minutes of hands-on time.
Here's what you need to make the dairy-free and egg-free bread dough:
The crumble part of this bread comes from the sweet and nutty streusel topping. Don't leave it out! It adds an incredible nutty flavor to every bite and lick (This recipe is bowl licking worthy..). You won't believe it's plant-based and egg-free!
Here's what you need to make the crumble topping for your sweet potato bread:
You can serve this bread when it's still a bit warm because who doesn't love a warm crumble fresh out of the oven? Add a pat of butter for extra flavor and moisture. If you're serving the bread for breakfast, add a side of Vegan Breakfast Parfait with Blueberries & Granola.
You could also serve this Vegan Sweet Potato Crumble Bread as a snack with tea or coffee. It's also sweet enough for a dessert treat. Add some vegan dairy-free vanilla ice cream for a little extra naughtiness. My favorite dairy-free ice cream at the moment is by Oatly.
Store your leftover Vegan Sweet Potato Crumble Bread in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to three days. You can freeze this plant-based bread for up to three months. (Great for meal prepping if you have little ones or a busy schedule) To serve, defrost on the counter, then slice and serve at room temperature or heat in the microwave for 10 seconds.
This bread is already vegan, but it's easy to make gluten-free too! Simply use Gluten-Free all-purpose flour (I like the blend from Bob's Red Mil) to replace the regular flour. If the batter is too thin, add more flour, ¼ cup at a time, until it's thick.
I like to sweeten this bread with agave, which is a vegan-friendly liquid sweetener. However, you could also use maple syrup or date syrup which tastes incredible with these flavors. If you're not vegan, honey also works a treat!
It's easy to mix and match the flavors in this bread. Here are some easy ingredient swaps and additions to try:
Sure! To make an oil-free version of this dairy-free vegan sweet potato crumble bread recipe, swap the coconut oil for unsweetened applesauce. You can use store-bought or homemade!
Simple Ingredients - You're going to love cooking with the sweet potato because it's such an underrated staple food. To save time, you could simply use canned sweet potatoes! The other ingredients in this recipe are standard baking supplies that you most likely already have on hand!
Leftovers - This plant-based sweet potato crumble bread makes perfect leftovers which means less effort the next day (Need I say more?)
Texture - This is one of the moistest quickbreads I've ever prepared, but you have to try it to understand how moist it is. You wouldn't even know it's egg free! It slices easily and stays together while being transported, so it is perfect for lunchboxes!
Autumn Spices - I adore the homely spices we've included in this bread. If a bread could be 'cozy', this would be it! The nutmeg and cinnamon give everything such a warming fall flavor.
