Easy Swirled Cinnamon Bread
Description
Easy Swirled Cinnamon Bread combines a classic cinnamon swirl with a softly spiced quick bread base using sour milk and a blend of baking powder and baking soda as leavening agents. The batter incorporates ground cinnamon and sugars, contributing a balanced sweetness and aroma throughout the loaf. A cinnamon-brown sugar butter mixture is swirled in twice, creating visible, flavorful cinnamon layers inside the bread after baking.
The bread is baked in a loaf pan at 350°F until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, resulting in a golden crust with a tender, moist crumb inside. The method stresses gentle mixing to avoid toughness, preserving a light texture even with dense cinnamon swirls. After baking, the bread cools in the pan briefly before fully cooling on a rack to ease slicing.
This cinnamon bread works well sliced and served plain or with a spread like butter or cream cheese. It suits breakfast tables, tea time, or anytime a mildly sweet cinnamon loaf is desired without complex preparation or yeast dough handling.
Ingredients
SWIRL MIXTURE
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar lightly packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
CINNAMON BREAD
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 260 grams
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- ½ cup brown sugar 90 grams, lightly packed
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup sour milk 240 grams, room temperature
- ¼ cup butter 56 grams, melted and cooled
- 2 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
*In a measuring cup add 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of white vinegar or lemon juice, add enough milk to make 1 cup (225 grams), let sit 10 minutes before using.
For room temperature remove from fridge 30-45 minutes before using.
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Lightly grease and flour a 9 inch (22-23 cm) loaf pan.
SWIRL MIXTURE
- In a small bowl mix together the cinnamon, brown sugar and butter, this will be used as the swirl.
CINNAMON BREAD
- In a large bowl beat together the sour milk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla for about 1 minute until combined. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. It will be a bit lumpy. Do not over mix as this will cause a tough heavy bread.
- Spoon half the batter into the prepared loaf pan, top with half the cinnamon mixture and swirl with the tip of a knife, top with the remaining batter and remaining cinnamon mixture. Swirl again and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for approximately 15-20 minutes then move to a wire rack. Let cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
