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.

I am terrible at baking but this was pretty painless. I had to substitute a few items (brown sugar for monk fruit sugar, all purpose flour for standard flour, apple sauce for mashed banana, coconut oil for olive oil) and it still turned out amazing! Thank you for such an awesome recipe! Will be trying others for sure.
LarishaBernard
So happy that you loved it even with your substitutions! Thanks for taking time out to leave a review!

This is hands down one of the best things i have ever baked, and i bake a lot, so that’s saying something. The bread was perfectly moist, had just the right amount of sweetness, and the cinnamon took it to the next level. I used mashed banana in place of applesauce and whole wheat flour in place of all purpose flour. I can’t wait to make this again, this has taken over my banana bread addiction 😉
LarishaBernard
Amazingggg to hear! Thanks for sharing
Josie
My boyfriend never eats sweets and is not a fan but he ate almost all of this bread and requested I make more!So yeah,I think that says enough 😀
LarishaBernard
haha that’s amazing! Glad to hear it! Thanks for taking time out to leave a review!
Samantha Rittenberg
Hi! This recipe sounds absolutely amazing! I was wondering if I could do more applesauce and less oil to make it a little healthier, do you think that would work> If so, what would be the measurements? Thanks!
LarishaBernard
Hi, you can technically replace it all 1:1, but it will be more dense the more applesauce you use than if you were using oil.

Hey! I would like to ask you, how many grams is one cup in your recipes? I found many different scales of how many grams are spoons, cups etc. and I’m just really confused, because many of recipes I tried didn’t come out as they were supposed to. Thanks a lot! 🙂

This bread is amazing! It does have the perfect level of sweetness for a quick morning bread. I had the brilliant idea to put some biscoff spread ontop of it, and it was the most delicous thing i’ve ever eaten. I’m gonna have to limit this bread to a once every other month type deal or I might get addicted.
LarishaBernard
Oh my! That sounds incredible! Thanks for taking time to leave a review, we appreciate it

Made this over the weekend and it was delish. My husband and I ate it in two sittings, not proud of that but just sayin’ 🤣
LarishaBernard
Hahaha, I mean we don’t blame him. Not judging at all. Thank you for leaving a review!
Sarah
This recipe was amazing! I wouldn’t change a thing 🙂
Everything came together so easily, and the end result is delicious! It’s not at all dense like a lot of other recipes I’ve tried. The bread came out so soft, and it’s got the perfect level of sweetness for people who don’t like a very sweet dessert. I used vegan butter to grease my baking dish which made the outside taste so good. Next time I’ll sub in some melted vegan butter with the oil and I’m sure it’s going to taste awesome. Looking forward to trying some of your other recipes, thanks for sharing!!
LarishaBernard
Thrilled to hear that! Thanks for taking time to leave a review, we appreciate it so much
Sierra
Perfection! We’ve made it 3 times now! Is there any substitution for coconut oil in this? Sometimes I don’t have it on hand.
LarishaBernard
You can use any neutral oil (wouldn’t recommend olive) or vegan butter . Glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for taking time to leave a review! Have a great week
Ginger
Excellent recipe! I loved that even though I used brown sugar, it didn’t feel overly sweet! I used regular AP flour, but I will try GF next. I actually saved some of the brown sugar/cinnamon mix and added it to the top of the loaf. I gave it a mix into the dough and it gave the loaf a nice crunchiness to the top! It took me about 65 minutes total to bake in my glass loaf pan. Worth the wait!
LarishaBernard
We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We appreciate it!
Sally
Thanks so much for your wonderful videos and for this recipe! I did make some changes:
Used 1/3 cup applesauce and reduced the oil to 1/4 cup. (I used grape seed oil)
Peeled and chopped a Granny Smith apple and added it to the batter
Subbed out 1/2 cup of almond meal for 1/2 cup flour.
It all worked perfectly and is addictively delicious. Thanks!
LarishaBernard
