Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread

Print Recipe

A moist, tender quick bread swirled with cinnamon sugar for a cozy, comforting treat perfect for breakfast, dessert, or snacking.

Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups – Forms the base of the bread, giving it structure and softness.
  • Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon – Lifts the batter to make it fluffy and light.
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon – Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • Granulated Sugar: 1 cup – Sweetens the loaf and caramelizes slightly on the crust.
  • Milk: 1 cup – Adds moisture and helps blend the batter.
  • Egg: 1 large – Binds the ingredients and adds richness.
  • Vegetable Oil: ⅓ cup – Keeps the crumb moist and tender.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1½ teaspoons – Infuses warmth and depth into the flavor.
  • Ground Cinnamon: 1 tablespoon – The star spice, bold and aromatic.
  • Brown Sugar: ⅓ cup – For the swirl, it adds a rich molasses sweetness.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another, whisk sugar, milk, egg, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and brown sugar.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar over the batter. Add remaining batter on top, then the rest of the cinnamon-sugar. Swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Finishing Touches: Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice thick and serve with coffee, tea, or a smear of butter.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep it light and fluffy.
  • Add chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture.
  • Wrap tightly to keep moist for several days or freeze for later.
