In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cup of granulated sugar, 2.25 teaspoons of instant yeast, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
In a small saucepan, gently heat 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk and 0.25 cup of melted coconut oil until warm to the touch, about 110°F.
Pour the warm almond milk mixture and 0.25 cup of warm water into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon-sugar mixture by combining 2 tablespoons of cinnamon with 0.5 cup of brown sugar in a small bowl.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle about 9x18 inches.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Starting from the short end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seams to seal the ends.
Place the log seam-side down into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
