In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
Add the sugar, almond milk, and melted coconut oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Gently knead in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, cover with a clean cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch the dough down, roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface, and sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon and the brown sugar.
Roll the dough tightly into a log, tucking the ends under.
Place the rolled dough into a greased loaf pan, cover with a cloth, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
