Cinnamon Loaf
Easy cinnamon swirl quick bread that’s soft, moist, and perfect for breakfast or snacking.
Ingredients
BREAD:
- 4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
SWIRL:
- ⅓ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray an 8x4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, sugar and egg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the sugar mixture alternately with the buttermilk. In a small bowl, combine the swirl ingredients.
- Pour ⅓ of the batter into the prepared pan; sprinkle with ⅓ of the swirl mixture. Repeat the layers twice. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter—mix just until combined for a tender loaf.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, use 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice.
- Add chopped nuts or a simple glaze if desired.
- Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
