it’s friday, and you deserve something special to celebrate the weekend—so why not treat yourself to better than bakery vegan cinnamon toast crunch bread?
if you grew up loving cinnamon toast crunch cereal, you’re not alone.
that irresistible combination of sweet cinnamon and satisfying crunch has inspired countless desserts over the years.
from bagels to muffins to bread, there’s nothing quite like the magic of cinnamon and sugar baked into something warm and comforting.
while you could easily swing by a bakery to pick up some freshly baked bread, why not spend just 15 minutes prepping your own better than bakery vegan cinnamon toast crunch bread at home?
the best part? there’s barely any effort involved, and the hardest part is simply waiting for it to bake in the oven.
taste and texture
this bread will impress you not only with its amaze taste but also with its incredible texture.
the rich, cinnamon-sugar flavor brings back all the nostalgia of your favorite childhood cereal, while the soft, moist crumb of the bread is perfectly balanced by a crunchy, cinnamon-laced topping.
you won’t miss the eggs, and you certainly won’t miss the dairy—this loaf exceeds expectations in every way.
how to serve and store
while this bread is delicious on its own, i’m a firm believer that a little glaze or frosting can elevate any cinnamon-infused treat.
that said, better than bakery vegan cinnamon toast crunch bread is versatile enough to be enjoyed plain with your morning coffee, dressed up as a dessert, or even as a sweet snack.
to store, simply wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it at room temperature for up to three days.
if you want to keep it fresh longer, pop it in the fridge for up to a week.
for extended storage, this bread is freezer-friendly.
just slice the loaf, wrap each slice individually, and freeze for up to two months. when you’re ready to enjoy, thaw a slice or two at room temperature or warm it up in the oven.
why you’ll love better than bakery vegan cinnamon toast crunch bread
about the ingredients
this bread is sweetened with coconut sugar, both in the batter and in the crunchy topping.
coconut sugar is my go-to for baking because it adds a deep, caramel flavor without being overly sweet, but feel free to experiment with other sweeteners if you prefer.
the crunch factor is simply divine, made from a combination of coconut sugar, almond flour, vegan butter, and cinnamon.

One question though – what is the recommended size loaf tin size?
By what would you replace the banana ? ( allergy)
probably applesauce!
