  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Bread Batter

  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose plain flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • 1 1/4 cup (315g) dairy-free milk
  • 1/2 cup (125g) neutral flavored oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/3 cup (65g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Streusel Topping (Optional)

  • 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)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy removal after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt (if using). Whisk these dry ingredients until well combined and free of lumps for an even texture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the dairy-free milk, neutral oil, apple cider vinegar (if using), and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk together until the batter is smooth and homogeneous. Set aside this mixture.
  4. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar swirl mixture that will be layered inside the bread.
  5. Make Streusel Topping (Optional): In another small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, melted vegan butter (or margarine or coconut oil), and cinnamon. Stir until the mixture resembles fine crumbs to sprinkle on top of the bread for extra texture and sweetness.
  6. Assemble the Bread Layers: Pour about one-third of the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Generously sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over this layer to create the swirl effect.
  7. Layer Batter and Cinnamon: Pour another one-third of the batter over the cinnamon sugar layer, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top. Cover these layers with the remaining batter, smoothing the surface.
  8. Add Streusel Topping: Evenly sprinkle the streusel mixture over the top of the assembled batter to create a crunchy, sweet crust during baking.
  9. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent the pan with aluminum foil to prevent burning. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with only moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. This prevents it from becoming soggy.
  11. Serve and Store: Serve slices plain, with vegan butter, or toasted for extra warmth and flavor. Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day, refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract are optional but add depth and slight tanginess to the bread, enhancing its flavor.
  • The streusel topping is optional but recommended for added crunch and sweetness.
  • If you don’t have brown sugar, you can substitute with white sugar or coconut sugar, though this may affect the flavor slightly.
  • Ensure not to overbake – the bread should be moist and tender inside.
  • Store leftovers properly to maintain freshness and moisture.
