How to make vegan cinnamon swirl quick bread
Find the complete recipe with measurements in the recipe card below. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl, then set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together until combined. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over top and stir until the wet and dry mixtures just come together. Pour half of the batter into a prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle a thick layer of cinnamon sugar over the batter. Reserve at least 2 tablespoons for the top. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer. Use a spoon to carefully spread it into an even layer without stirring the cinnamon sugar layer. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cinnamon sugar. Use a butter knife to make a swirl pattern in the loaf. Tip: Do not over-swirl the batter or else you’ll miss out on the pretty cinnamon ribbon inside of the bread. One run-through with the knife should be all it takes. Bake the cinnamon bread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set it aside to cool. Whisk the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl, then drizzle it over the completely cooled bread. Let it set for 20 minutes, then slice and serve.
