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 bread is delicious!!! My whole family loved it! I used brown sugar all the way since I didn’t have coconut sugar and instead of applesauce I used 1 mashed banana- the recipe still turned out super yummy! I left my bread cooking a whole 1 hour and some , to make sure it baked all the way. And boy did it help the crust be crunchy with softness in the middle! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing your substitutions! We’re so happy that you loved it Thanks for leaving a review, we appreciate it so much
Delicious!!! Tastes like coffee cake but better! We’ll definitely be making this again. 🙂
Yayy!! We are so happy that you loved the recipe. I like that you said “but better”. We appreciate you taking time to comment. Have a great week.
Hi, can I replace the all-purpose flour with wholewheat flour?
Hi! Thanks for asking. We haven’t tried but usually whole wheat flour should be substitute at 3/4 cup whole wheat for every 1 cup all purpose flour called for and then add an additional 2-3 tsp of liquid. We would recommend something sweet like maple syrup for the additional liquid since whole wheat flour tastes more “earthy” for lack of a better word LOL
LOVED this and so easy to make. Thank you for sharing 🙂
We’re so excited that you liked it! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your time. Have a great day!
I tried making this with coconut flour and the batter was more of a crumble – it definitely wouldn’t pour 🙁
Coconut flour is so finicky and really hard to work with. It almost always needs a blend of other gluten free flours.
Loved loved LOVED this recipe! It got rave reviews in my house. Next time I’ll have to double up and make 2 loaves! Thank you!

I tried the recipe two ways. I made mine gluten free using Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 flour and the other was with regular flour and I used vegetable oil. My mom enjoyed the regular cinnamon loaf. My cinnamon loaf was sweet and the coconut sugar carmelized on the top and sides. Delicious is an understatement. I did leave my gf loaf in a an extra 20 minutes to make sure it cooked all the way. I also add a splash of apple cider vinegar and a little tapicoa flour to help. I ate 4 pieces after it came out of the oven. I refidgerated the rest. This morning the loaf was even better! The cinnamon flavors were amazing. I can’t wait to try other recipes forom your site!
We’re so happy to hear that both ways we are success! Thanks for taking time out of your day to leave a review, we appreciate that so much. Have a great weekend.
This is soooooo tasty !! Reminds me of those little crumb cakes I used to get at the convenience store back in the day , but a healthy version . I will definitely be making this again
We’re so excited that you loved the recipe! Thanks for taking time to leave a comment, we appreciate that so much!
Thank you for this recipe! I didn’t have a loaf pan so I made muffins, which were done after 45 mins. I also subbed out the applesauce for aquafaba and it worked great. these are soooooo delicous <3
