I know there’s been a massive increase in people baking over the last week. However, I also know that flour is the new pasta and it’s almost impossible to get hold of. Thankfully for you, I’m a fan of baking with oat flour so you can smugly bake these recipes at home without having to stress about food shortages. I thought I’d share some easy vegan baking recipes in this post that you can potentially make during lockdown. They all have simple ingredients lists and aren’t too complicated to make, so they’re great options for people attempting vegan baking for the first time or possibly looking for lockdown baking ideas for kids.
Oh, and I’m sorry if you’re having issues sourcing oats where you are, I haven’t seen that where I am. I tried!
Every single one of these recipes is vegan and gluten free. Each post is allergy labelled within the recipe for other common allergens like nuts and soy.
10 Easy Vegan Baking Recipes
1. The Most Simple Cookies You’ll Ever Bake
This one screams bake with kids to me, they’re simple banana oat cookies, and they’re not that bad for you either if you’re looking for slightly healthier options.
I made these banana oat cookies with a Christmas twist too, I know the current season is far from festive, but this recipe might give you an idea of things to potentially add in if you don’t want them plain!
2. No Bake Millionaire’s Shortbread/ Caramel Slices
A nut and oat base with a date caramel layer, all topped with chocolate.
3. Applesauce Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Like the sound of the first recipe but don’t want to use/ don’t like bananas? You know what, I hate bananas and got sick of seeing them in every vegan recipe, so I decided to start playing with applesauce instead and came up with these.
4. Frozen Granola Clusters
Okay, I know this isn’t technically baking (unless you want to make your own granola too) but this recipe is another one that’s good to make with kids. Although that could get messy, these ones are fun and a little different from everything else on this list.
5. Mini Baked Doughnut Muffins
I didn’t know what to call these at the time and, honestly, I still don’t. But they’re a baked in a doughnut tin but have more of a cake/ muffin texture.
6. Orange Breakfast Muffins
Another one that’s oat flour based, with some added hazelnuts and some orange juice and zest. This one is refined sugar free, other than the (optional) icing, so it’s another great option for a slightly healthier bake with kids.
7. Peanut Butter Cookies
These were one of my favourites from last year’s Recipe A Day May. This an easy bake with kids, but not a healthy one. These ones taste buttery and sugary, the perfect level of chewy that makes a really great cookie (if I do say so myself).
8. Strawberry White Chocolate Blondies
It’s with a very heavy heart that I bring you one of my favourite Wimbledon inspired recipes from last year. Vegan white chocolate and a homemade strawberry jam (you could use store bought) in an oat flour based blondies recipe.
9. Peanut Butter Brownies
I made a double stacked batch of these and iced them as my mum’s birthday cake last year. If you’re a regular baker you’ll likely already have all of these ingredients other than maybe the powdered peanut butter. But if you can get your hands on some and want to treat yourself, this is the one.
10. Vegan Nutella Loaf
If you have/ can get some vegan nutella, or regular nutella if you don’t need it to be DF, this loaf is such a simple one to make in terms of ingredients.
Have you been doing any baking during lockdown, or is it something you want to do when you run out of things on your Netflix watchlist? Which of these options do you like the look of the most?
Until next time,
Sophie
I love oatmeal cookies and ones with caramel. These are amazing options.
Haven’t done baking yet but will add it to my list!

These all look super yummy! Have finally been able to get my hands on some flour so now I can have a goo at baking some of these yummy treats. I think I will be having a go at that caramel shortbread first, as that just looks delicious!
We have just made some banana muffins with cinnamon and ginger, but used egg; so will have t find a way of making this recipe vegan!
Thanks for sharing!

This is a really good list. Brownies are the best snacks!
These all look incredible. I was instantly drawn to the strawberry white chocolate blondies. That’s everything I love most in a single treat – what’s not to love? I think baking is a great positive way to pass the time right now, and this post has me thinking that I need to join in on this trend!
Ok, this post has now made me want to bake and be Mary Berry! These recipes are amazing Sophie! x

I’ve been doing so much baking over this quarantine!! So far, I’ve done banana loaves, choc chip cookies, scones, and biscuits. Definitely need to have a go at some of these!!
Saved the oatmeal cookie recipe for later! Can’t wait to make and devour them! I love a good, easy baking recipe!!
Oh my !! These all look amazing.
All of these look incredible! Need to source some vegan white chocolate so I can attempt those blondies
Those frozen granola clusters and brownies look amazing! We have been baking no-bake lemon coconut bars and watching Queens of Mystery on Amazon Prime. 🙂
They look so good, I love the peanut brownie butter
Love this recipe list! I’m partial to the frozen granola clusters. I’ll have to try them. Yum!
Yum! they all look so good!
I’ve gone vegetarian during this lockdown and it feels great. I will certainly take this a step further and try these!
These pictures were well done. I’m not sure if you took them yourself, but if so, good job, you made me hungry. The one I personally would want to try is the simple cookie. Just wondering if it will taste amazing or amazingly simple.
Oh my goodness these look delicious gorgeous blog, thank you for sharing! Now which one to try first…
all of these look amazing, but i’m especially eyeing that nutella bread!

I am salivating so much, not gonna lie. These look so yum!
I don’t think I ever seen oat flour sold locally, but I do live in a small town and it’s hard to get options here in general, luckily I do have 2 big bags of flour. The peanut butter cookies are probably going to be my first try. I actually have not baked yet, but I have used flour to make flatbreads on the stove.

Oh my these look mouth-watering! I might try a few this week – I need something new to experiment with
Everything in this post looks absolutely delicious! My baking skills are quite basic, so easy recipes are exactly my kinda thing! I love peanut butter so would be very tempted to try and make the brownies and the cookies. Thank you for the inspiration Sophie, your photos are amazing too – I literally could eat everything in this post right now, haha! <3 xx

Yum, these all look delicious! I haven’t done much baking but reading this makes me want to do a lot of baking! The banana oat cookies sound good, I love most things with banana, the peanut butter cookies also sound great – seems like I love the easy bake with kids ones! haha.

I love that you have a great selection of choices to bake and honestly with the lack of some baking ingredients out there recently, creating these would be perfect as most we do have in the cupboard!

It is so crazy that this is all vegan! I am going to try the Millionaires shortbread as that is my all-time favourite treat!! *Drools over these pictures*

This is such a great idea. I haven’t done any baking during lockdown yet, but there’s always time to start! I think the frozen granola clusters and the mini baked doughnut muffins look amazing.

Great recipes! Thank you so much for sharing! I think I’ll try the oatmeal cookies first.

These cams at such a perfect time, I have been wanting to try out some baking since I’m not working to pass the time. The no bake millionaires shortbread look so amazing! X
oh my goodness these look like amazing baking recipes! I need to start baking again and make the peanut butter brownies!

The nutella loaf sounds amazing! I havent made banana cookies in forever
Oh wow these all look so tasty! I have done so much baking during this quarantine time. I need to stop or else I will gain like 15 pounds when it’s all said and done lol
Anything with orange or peanut butter in is an instant win in our household. And you’re right about flour being the new pasta, I haven’t seen any for WEEKS although I must admit I haven’t looked for oat flour, that’s a great tip. That said, I did manage to get some eggs yesterday so it looks like we’ll be baking at the weekend and this post couldn’t have come at a better time, thank you 🙂 xx
These are good ideas. I loved oatmeal raisin cookies. Another cookie that I always make is honey cornflakes clusters. Hehehe.
I’m trying to bake a little bit more so these sound perfect for exploring my skills x
Thank you for sharing these! We’ve been struggling to buy regular flour for what seems like forever, so this will definitely help. I can’t wait to give the DF Nutella loaf a try.
