    Cinnamon Quick Bread Ingredients

    While the glaze for this bread is optional, it really does bring out the cinnamon roll aspect of this recipe. This dairy-free and egg-free loaf comes together quickly. Here are the major ingredients you'll need:

    • Ground flaxseed
    • Almond milk
    • Unsweetened applesauce
    • Almond flour
    • Gluten-free oat flour
    • Arrowroot starch
    • Vegan butter or coconut oil
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Organic cane sugar
    • Coconut sugar
    • Organic powdered sugar
    • Lemon juice
    • Vanilla extract

    Almond flour

    Since this quick bread combines oat flour and almond flour, it is important to stick with almond flour, not almond meal. This will result in a better texture and nicer crumb.

    Gluten-free oat flour

    If you need to ensure that this is a completely gluten-free recipe, make sure you are buying certified gluten-free oat flour. Oat flour lends to this sweet quick bread recipe an extra dose of whole grain goodness and flavor.

    Ingredients

    Cinnamon Bread

    • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
    • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice half of 1 lemon
    • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
    • 3 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil melted
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup almond flour 105 g
    • 1 cup gluten-free oat flour 112 g
    • ¼ cup arrowroot starch 25 g
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup organic cane sugar 115 g

    Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

    • ¼ cup coconut sugar
    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

    Glaze

    • 1 cup organic powdered sugar 137 g
    • 1 tablespoon + two teaspoons almond milk
    • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
    • In a blender, add ground flax seeds, almond milk, lemon juice, applesauce, and melted vegan butter. Set aside.
    • In a large bowl, add almond flour, oat flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and organic cane sugar. Whisk to combine.
    • Add vanilla extract to the mixture in the blender, and blend on high until smooth. Fold liquid mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until all ingredients are moistened.
    • Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Combine cinnamon sugar swirl ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle half of cinnamon sugar mixture on top of batter. Pour remaining batter on top. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar in an even layer on top. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
    • Remove gluten-free cinnamon bread from oven and place on a wire cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before topping with glaze.
    • When ready to glaze, combine all glaze ingredients in a small bowl. For a thicker glaze, add a little more powdered sugar. For a thinner glaze, add a little more almond milk. Pour glaze over top of bread and spead into an even layer, allowing to drip down the sides.
    • Allow glaze to set before slicing and serving.

        Hi Brianna! Cornstarch should work well here as a substitute.
