A quick and easy cinnamon-sugar swirled bread, perfect for breakfast or a snack. This moist loaf slices cleanly and pairs well with coffee.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  3. Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon for the swirl.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
  8. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
  9. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute buttermilk for regular milk.
  • This bread freezes well and makes a great gift. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
  • Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
