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.

This has now become a staple for me the past few years and I have people asking me for it every fall/ winter! I swap the applesauce for pumpkin purée and it’s so moist and yummy! My husband and I have it for our thanksgiving breakfast. Thank you so much for sharing! I’m glad to make it part of my traditions 🧡
Larisha Bernard
I love that and so happy to be included in your family traditions! Thank you so much for sharing!
Amy
Has anyone tried this using gluten-free flour or oat flour? Thanks!
Larisha Bernard
we have made with a GF All purpose flour. A 1:1 blend. It works. We wouldn’t recommend just oat flour

Print formatting is faulty, a big disappointment!
Larisha Bernard
Hi. Can you share more? What is happening?
Cass
Do you know What we could use instead of apple sauce ?Unfortunately we have an apple allergy.
Larisha Bernard
No problem! Coconut cream (thick part on top of canned coconut milk), pumpkin puree, mashed banana (will make it have a banana flavor), flax egg. If one of these do not work, please let us know and we will help troubleshoot more ideas
Marian
Thank you for this recipe, it is amazing! Because all recipes are too sweet for me, I cut the 1 cup sugar to 3/4 of a cup and it was just right. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
Larisha Bernard
So happy you found what worked for you and enjoyed it!

What is the size of the loaf pan. 9×5 or 4.5×8.5
Larisha Bernard
We use a 9×5, but used the other as well with no issues for this recipe
Vanessa
Well I made it! But I forgot to put 2 cups of flour and had to put it back in the mixing bowl added the 2 cup of flour then put in the pan. It’s good but I think some parts when I cut it looks undone, like pieces. I must make it again!
Larisha Bernard
Ahh, yes that could happen with the mix up. Hope you make again!

Hi there!
I am new to making vegan baked goods, as I am not able to consume eggs. I read in the video, someone has asked if there is a way to make the bread moist. I have two questions:
1) what tips you would advise to someone new, learning to bake vegan desserts?
2) for moisture, can milled flaxseed be added to this recipe?
Thank you!
Larisha Bernard
Hi Raquel! This bread is very moist as is without any additional changes. We’d recommend making sure you don’t have a heavy hand with the flour and follow as written as you should be good to go! We wouldn’t add more flax.
As far as new tips – we’d recommend reading this post for baking – https://makeitdairyfree.com/15-vegan-egg-substitutes-for-baking/

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.
LarishaBernard
So glad you enjoyed it!
LaTosha
Is there a difference to make in a bread maker or can I just throw the ingredients in my bread maker and set it?
LarishaBernard
I’m sorry we haven’t tested this in a bread machine.
Joyce
Hi LaTosha,
I am going to make this bread today in a bread machine. My bread machine has a quick bread setting. And I am going to watch for it to finish stirring and swirl the cinnamon mixture in just before it starts cooking.
Larisha Bernard
Hope it worked!
Connie
my understanding is that bread machines are for yeast breads and this is a quick bread, not a yeast bread.
