Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for the swirl)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  7. Add the remaining batter on top and spread it out evenly.
  8. Using a knife or a skewer, swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter to create the swirl effect.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For a twist, you can add raisins, chopped nuts, or even chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
  • Top your cinnamon bread with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for an extra layer of sweetness.
  • For a vegan option, substitute the egg and milk with plant-based alternatives like almond milk and a flax egg.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze individual slices for longer storage.
  • If using self-rising flour, omit the baking powder and salt.
