🍞 Cinnamon Sugar Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Bread:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 cup milk (whole or 2% preferred)

• ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)

• 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:

• ⅓ cup granulated sugar

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together egg, milk, oil, and vanilla.

4. Combine: Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined (don’t overmix).

5. Make cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together.

6. Assemble the bread:

   • Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.

   • Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.

   • Add the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar.

   • Use a butter knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter (a few figure-8 motions).

7. Bake: 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Cool: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

🧈 Optional Add-Ons:

• Add a cinnamon glaze: Mix ½ cup powdered sugar + 1 tbsp milk + ½ tsp cinnamon.

• Stir in chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
