Description
A deliciously sweet and spiced bread with a delightful cinnamon sugar swirl, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and finish with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batter and cinnamon-sugar mixture together for a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or raisins to the batter.
- You can also drizzle a simple icing made from powdered sugar and milk over the cooled bread for an extra sweet touch.
