This Cinnamon Swirl Bread is a quick and moist loaf made from a simple batter swirled with a delicious cinnamon-sugar mixture. Perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack, it yields a flavorful and tender bread with a beautiful marbled pattern.

Ingredients

For the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

For the Batter

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients needed for the recipe and ensure measuring accuracy for best results.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup of white sugar with 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Set this aside for swirling into the bread.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, the remaining 1 cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt until evenly blended.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, 1 cup of milk, and ⅓ cup vegetable oil until smooth.
  6. Mix Batter: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just moistened. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  7. Layer Batter and Cinnamon Sugar: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar.
  8. Create Swirl Pattern: Use a knife to gently draw through the batter to create a marbled cinnamon swirl effect.
  9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool and Rest: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. For best flavor and texture, wrap the cooled loaf in foil and let it sit overnight before slicing.
  11. Serve: Slice and enjoy this delicious cinnamon swirl bread as a delightful treat anytime.
