Cinnamon Roll Bread

Delicious Layers of Cinnamon Sugar 

There is nothing quite like walking through the mall and smelling Auntie Annes pretzels. That is exactly what this recipe will make your house smell like. The delicious combination of cinnamon and sugar.

Cinnamon roll are by far one of my favorite desserts. However, they usually take a good amount of time and effort to make. That is why I created this cinnamon roll bread.

To create the loaf, it takes maximum 15 minutes. Everything is thrown together in a bowl and comes together super quickly. This recipe also uses a lot of super simple ingredients. 

For the cinnamon sugar mixture, I left measurements as a guide. If you prefer yours to have more cinnamon and less sugar do that! You can adjust based on your liking.

The same goes for the glaze. Those measurements are a guide. If you prefer your glaze runnier or thicker just adjust accordingly. 

To keep this recipe refined sugar free, you would want to use coconut sugar. I used monk fruit and that worked just as well. Any granulated sugar will work.

Vegan butter: any vegan butter will work. If you aren’t vegan traditional butter also works. You could also use liquid oil.

Applesauce: I always use unsweetened applesauce. If you don’t want to use applesauce, you could use mashed banana, pumpkin, mashed sweet potato, or oil. I wouldn’t recommend substituting the applesauce though.

Almond flour: I haven’t tested any other flours.

Nondairy milk: I used unsweetened almond milk. Any nondairy milk will work. If you aren’t vegan, traditional milk also works.

All-purpose flour: I haven’t tested any other flours. You could probably use a 1:1 gluten-free flour.
