A SWEET QUICK BREAD RECIPE
This soft and simple Cinnamon Bread is perfect to serve at brunches, as dessert, or even breakfast! It’s super quick to put together and tastes amazing warm or room temperature! I absolutely love to make quick breads. They are so easy, no yeast is involved and anyone can make them with the simplest of ingredients! Also did I mention the house smells incredible while this is baking?!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Is the cinnamon flavor of this Cinnamon Bread really strong No, actually this bread has a mild cinnamon flavor. It’s not bold or overpowering. It doesn’t make you feel like you bit into a cinnamon stick. However, you can totally amps up the cinnamon flavor by simply adding more cinnamon. How do I know when the Cinnamon Sugar Bread is done? The best way to tell the bread is done is by doing a toothpick test. Stick a toothpick into the bread at the top, if it comes out clean with a few crumbs then it’s done. If it comes out with batter, then it will need at least a few more minutes to bake. Is the cinnamon and sugar on the top supposed to stay mostly dry? Great question. Yes, if it stays mostly dry it is totally fine. Also, know that some will fall down on the edges of the bread making the edges look darker or burnt, but it’s not actually burnt, it’s simply darker because of the cinnamon and sugar and how those look when baked. So keep that in mind when making this bread. How do you store leftovers of this quick bread? Save any leftovers in an airtight container and keep it at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.

HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON BREAD
Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. NoteL The parchment paper just helps with easier removal after it is done baking. If you don’t want to use parchment paper, just spray well with nonstick cooking spray (I prefer the kind that has flour in it – like Baker’s Joy). In a small bowl, add the granulated sugar and cinnamon then stir together. Set aside. In a bowl, add all purpose flour, brown sugar and baking powder and stir well to combine.
Then make a well (a large dip) in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the egg, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Stir together until combined well. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle ¾ of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the batter.
Add the rest of the batter over the cinnamon sugar mixture, and then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool before slicing and serving.
