Vegan Walnut and Cinnamon Bread Recipe

I find the vegan period intriguing as it's an opportunity for me to discover and prepare unique, flavorful recipes.

This cake proves that delicious meals can also be fasting-friendly - aromatic, tasty, and tender, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Feel free to add dark chocolate pieces, or use it as a cake base topped with vegan chocolate spread. I suggest not grinding the walnuts completely, leave them in small pieces to enhance the cake's texture.

Step 6

In my case, the bread started to brown towards the end, although it hadn't passed the toothpick test.

For the last 10-15 minutes, I covered it with aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out while ensuring it was baked through. 

Let it cool in the pan for about an hour, covered with a towel.

Cut only after it has completely cooled.

Without eggs, it's slightly more crumbly.

Enjoy your meal!
