How to make Cinnamon Swirl Bread?
- Prepare the cinnamon swirl. In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Mix the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk an egg. Then, whisk in milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Grease a 9×5-inches loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. Pour ⅓ of the bread batter into the prepared pan, and top with half of the cinnamon swirl mixture.
- Pour the remaining batter and top with the remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture. Using a skewer or a knife, swirl it around the batter to create a nice pattern. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cinnamon quick bread cool to room temperature. Then, remove from the baking pan, slice, and serve.
