This Vegan Cinnamon Bread is a moist, tender loaf filled with a delightful cinnamon sugar swirl and optional crumbly streusel topping. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or snack, this dairy-free, egg-free bread uses simple pantry ingredients and bakes to golden perfection in an 8-inch loaf pan.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (about 8 slices)

Ingredients

For the Vegan Cinnamon Bread

  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose plain flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • 1 ¼ cup (315g) dairy-free milk
  • ½ cup (125g) neutral flavored oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Cinnamon Swirl

  • ⅓ cup (65g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Optional Streusel Topping

  • 3 tablespoons (25g) all-purpose plain flour
  • 2 tablespoons (20g) packed brown sugar or sugar of choice
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) vegan butter, margarine or coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F) and line an 8-inch (20 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and optional salt until well combined with no lumps.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the dairy-free milk, neutral oil, optional apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Whisk until you achieve a smooth batter and set aside.
  4. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly.
  5. Make Streusel Topping (Optional): Mix flour, brown sugar, melted vegan butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl until it forms a crumbly texture like coarse crumbs.
  6. Assemble the Bread: Pour one-third of the batter into the loaf pan. Generously sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Add another one-third of the batter on top and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon mixture. Cover with the last third of the batter evenly. Finally, sprinkle the streusel topping evenly on top if using.
  7. Bake: Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. If the bread top browns too quickly, tent the loaf pan with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy plain, or with vegan butter or toasted as desired.
  9. Storage: Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

Notes

  • Apple cider vinegar can be substituted with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to help tenderize the crumb and mimic egg functionality in vegan baking.
  • The streusel topping is optional; alternatively, you can simply sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top or bake without any topping for a simpler finish.
  • This bread is best consumed within a few days or frozen for longer storage to maintain freshness.
