    What ingredients do I need to make vegan cinnamon quick bread?

    This vegan cinnamon quick bread needs just 9 ingredients and comes together super quickly. 

    Full amounts listed in the printable recipe card below. 

    The ingredients that you need are: 

    • coconut sugar (can sub with cane or brown)
    • ground cinnamon
    • all-purpose flour
    • baking powder
    • salt
    • brown sugar (can sub with vegan cane sugar)
    • unsweetened applesauce 
    • dairy free milk (we like oat)
    • coconut oil (can sub for neutral flavor like canola)

    How do I make vegan cinnamon quick bread?

    To start this recipe, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

    In a large bowl combine applesauce, non dairy milk and melted coconut oil.

    Add to the bowl flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar and mix everything together creating the batter. 

    In a small bowl combine coconut sugar and cinnamon creating the spice mixture.

    Grease your loaf pan.

    Layer your loaf pan by pouring half the batter into loaf pan, then half the spice. Then, remaining batter and the rest of the spice. 

    Take a knife put it into the batter until you touch the bottom of the pan. Zigzag it through the batter from left to right to create a marble like effect with the spice.

    Bake the loaf for 45-55 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 

    Let cool, then cut and serve.  It’s even better the next morning. 

    Warm up as needed.

    Can I make vegan cinnamon quick bread Top 8 Allergen Free?

    You can swap the coconut oil for another neutral oil like canola oil if you have a coconut allergy. 

    For the dairy free milk, we prefer oat which is already Top 8 Allergen free, but you can use any safe non-dairy milk.

    Lastly, is the flour. We have not personally tried it with gluten free flour, but have made similar recipes for muffins or cupcakes with King Arthur Measure for Measure flour and it has worked, so we would assume it would work here too. 

    Can I prep this dairy free cinnamon quick bread ahead?

    This bread, once made, will last up to 5 days. It tastes even better the next day as the cinnamon has longer to sit. 

    What are other vegan quick breads to make?

    Quick breads require no yeast and usually are ready in about an hour, making them a delicious and great breakfast or snack on the go.

      5 stars
      Very good cinnamon loaf, definitely more like a cake. I cut down the sugar, used 3/4c sugar for the dough and 1/4c for the cinnamon swirl and thought it was pretty sweet, sweet enough for a cake but I’d cut down the amount even further to have a slightly less sweet version for afternoon tea. Used an extra tap of cinnamon for the swirl and soy milk as the liquid. Cooked well as per recipe.

      Is there a difference to make in a bread maker or can I just throw the ingredients in my bread maker and set it?
