Ingredients

Scale

Bread Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon and set aside.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly distributed.
  4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in 1 large egg, then add 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, mixing until well combined.
  6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. 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 cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  8. Add Remaining Batter and Swirl: Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter, creating a marbled effect.
  9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your Cinnamon Sugar Bread fresh or toasted!

Notes

  • For an extra crunch, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for smoother mixing.
  • Use a toothpick to check doneness; if it comes out with wet batter, continue baking a few more minutes.
  • This bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Try adding chopped nuts or raisins for added texture and flavor.
