Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
• 5 tablespoons water
• 0.5 cup brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water to create a flax egg. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and half of the ground cinnamon.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the sugar, almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the mixture is just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, combine the remaining cinnamon with the brown sugar to create the cinnamon swirl.

Step 7

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 8

Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer. Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter to create the swirl effect.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
