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.

My third comment here. This time, i made mini cakes/loaves/pieces. I used my pampered chef single servings pan (they have since discontinued this item) for individual pieces/servings and it still tastes great!! (Wish i could share the photo)!!

Hi, This recipe looks amazing and I desperately want to try this but my husband is on a food elimination plan and a lot has been taking out of his day to day food. Because of this, my main battle in this recipe is the flour, do you know how I could incorporate Buckwheat, Chickpea or Coconut Flour (I read that it is finicky to work with) as a substitute?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thankyou!
LarishaBernard
Hi Jo! Really sorry but we haven’t tested any of these flours with this particular recipe and we don’t want to steer you wrong. We hope to be able to test out more recipes using gluten free flours in the future. (Also, yes coconut flour is super finicky and needs a high liquid to flour ratio).

I have a lot of allergies. Could you please give me a few options to use instead of the applesauce?
LarishaBernard
Any fruit puree – like banana (though that will alter the taste), pear, pumpkin, sweet potato. You can also use non-dairy yogurt.
Gab
Just amazing
I’ve just made it, and eat 1/4 of the whole thing, wow it is good!.
Easy to make, fast and very good. Easy to find ingredients also, and that’s a big YES for any vegan recipe, because sometimes you have to have like 100 things, and it’s just easier to go and buy the damn cookies, but no with this, i will keep it and shared it.
I didn’t use any applesauce, or banana and came out fine. all the other ingredients are the same.
It is delicious!
Thank u guys!

Happy to hear that you enjoyed it so much!

This bread is seriously good! It was easy to make and baked perfectly. I shared some with a friend who said he didn’t like cinnamon and he loved it too. I’ll be making this over and over again.

So happy to hear that! I feel like it’s always a win when you surprise someone

I came across this recipe on Pinterest @ 4am today (1/22) and decided to give it a try. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised! This was very simple yet sooooo delicious! This will definitely be a staple in my household and looks like I have my breakfast for the week, if it lasts that long. Oh, almost forgot, it feels like a treat but not too sweet! 🙂
I will definitely be trying out more of your recipes! Thanks. 🙂

Y’all make it so easy! I’ve already made this twice. So delicious. This didn’t last long. I added 3/4 of a large green apple for a little fruit zing. Thank you!
LarishaBernard
Love the apple addition!
Barbara
So yummy! I made it with gluten free flour and it was great. I’d never used coconut sugar before so I was glad to try something new in a classic.
LarishaBernard
Glad that you enjoyed it!

Savanna
I am planning to make this but don’t have applesauce. If I use mashed banana, should I use a whole banana or only 1/4 of a cup of banana?
LarishaBernard
1/4 cup
Dayra
Haven’t tried recipe yet but would like to know if a pumpkin puree would work instead of applesauce? Now that fall is almost here, thinking it would be great flavor change.
LarishaBernard
Absolutely! Same amount!
Maria
The marbled effect of this bread looks too delicious to not be tried. Plus, spreading butter is perfect to start your day with.
LarishaBernard
Thanks
