Warm the almond milk in a saucepan over low heat until it's just about lukewarm. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm almond milk with the active dry yeast and maple syrup. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour with ground cinnamon and salt.
Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add the melted vegan butter and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or using a stand mixer with a dough hook on low speed until a dough begins to form.
Add the raisins and continue to knead the dough (either by hand on a floured surface or with a mixer) for about 8-10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Form it into a loaf shape and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Once the dough has risen, sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar on top if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and toast the vegan cinnamon raisin bread to your desired crispiness before serving.
