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.

Subbed most of the oil with more applesauce and it was still delicious.

I made this today as a birthday treat for my daughter. I was worried at first, because my batter was a little thinner than Andrew’s was on the YouTube video, but I baked it anyway. The flavor is PHENOMENAL and my baby girl loved it! I will definitely be making this again. I can’t wait to make it with vegan butter! Thank you both!
LarishaBernard

I watched the recipe for this amazing quick bread on you tube and immediately ran into the kitchen to make it. The bread is so fast and easy to make. I have been trying to adapt my moms coffee cake recipe to vegan and never was able to succeed until I made this bread. The taste brought me back to when I was a kid. The bread is so moist and tender. Amazing on its own or with a hot beverage. If you made a vanilla icing drizzle, it would probably put you in a food coma.
Don’t stop with this bread recipe! This website is loaded with fantastic recipes. If you’re new to eating vegan or been a vegan for years, you’ll find recipes that are easy to make that taste great!
LarishaBernard
oh wow Linda, you are so kind, thank you! So happy to hear you enjoyed it. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Have a great day!
Natalie
The bread was perfection! Can’t wait to make it again. The only change was adding a bit of vanilla. It didn’t last more than a day in my house. Please keep the delicious recipes coming!
LarishaBernard
So happy to hear you enjoyed it. Love the idea of adding vanilla. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Have a great day!

Hi – what is the role of the applesauce in this recipe? Fat or moisture? I replaced it with Chia seeds (2 egg equivalent) but after 1hr 30 mins the bread still came out doughy 🙁
LarishaBernard
Applesauce is acting as the egg replacer but it’s there for the moisture too. 1/4 cup of applesauce is equivalent to 1 egg so it’s likely that with you subbing 2 “eggs” (I’m guessing 4-6 tbps of water with the chia) that it was too much and it needed to be cooked longer.
Rachel
Made this for my family yesterday..a huge hit! Didn’t last long at all, lol.
LarishaBernard
So happy to hear everyone enjoyed it. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Have a great day!

This is hands down one of the easiest and best sweet breads I have made… absolutely delicious!
I’ve made it three times in less than a week. I’m making another loaf tonight- this does not last long in my house.
You guys are awesome, Keep up the good work!
LarishaBernard
So happy to hear you enjoyed it. We can’t even blame you for how often you made it LOL. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Have a great day!
Andrea Abrego
I saw the video on your YouTube channel, I knew I had the ingredients so I made it right away. This is soooooooo goooood, oh my god. Hands down. I made it gluten free from King Arthur measure to measure gluten free flour blend and my sister couldn’t tell it was even gluten free. Point is I loved it!
LarishaBernard
So happy to hear you enjoyed it! We’ve made it with that GF flour as well and agree it’s almost indistinguishable! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Have a great day!
Cassidy Bingham
The flavor is delicious, but it never cooked up!! It is like mush, and I am not sure where i went wrong!
I used Coconut milk instead of Oat, and I used Almond Flour. Would that make a difference? I wanted it to work so badly!
I cooked it for 1 hour and 5 minutes at 350…
LarishaBernard
The type of milk wouldn’t matter but using just almond flour would matter. Almond flour is more moist so you either need to add more or reduce the liquid. Since we’ve only used a 1:1 GF flour we don’t have the exact measurements of how much almond flour you would need but that’s what happened.
Jenna Pfneisl
Can you do almond flour? Has anyone tried??
LarishaBernard
We’ve never tried sorry
Amanda
This is delicious! I’ve made this twice now and we love the taste but I can’t get it to look like yours – my cinnamon swirl just goes to the top of the loaf when i do the zig zag. how do you get the defined middle layer in there?
LarishaBernard
Hi! We have a video now that shows you exact what we do. Maybe that will help so you have a visual? Thanks for taking time to leave a review, we really appreciate that. Have a great week!
Amy
This is delicious! For some reason, though, my flour would not mix thoroughly and I had pockets of flour in my loaf.
What could be the issue? I did use light brown sugar for the sugar… maybe that’s it?
Thanks for your help!
LarishaBernard
Hmm, we’ve never had that issue so I’m not entirely sure. You could try mixing in separate parts so it mixes evenly.Just don’t overmix
Shelby
I neglected to thoroughly mix the liquids before adding the dry and the same thing happened. My next loaf I didn’t make that mistake and it worked perfect!
LarishaBernard
So glad to hear that!
