Description
Deliciously moist and flavorful cinnamon swirl quick bread that’s easy to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup (160ml) whole milk, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup (75g/80ml) vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup (80g) full-fat sour cream (or plain yogurt/Greek yogurt), at room temperature
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- optional: vanilla icing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9×5-inch or 8×4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together for the cinnamon swirl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar, milk, oil, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then whisk just until combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Pour/spread about half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle almost all of the cinnamon-sugar evenly on top, reserving about 2 Tablespoons for topping.
- Carefully pour/spread the remaining batter evenly on top and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar on top.
- Using a knife, make a large swirl down the loaf pan without over-swirling.
- Bake for 50–65 minutes, tenting loosely with foil about halfway through if necessary.
- Once done, allow the bread to cool in the pan for 1 hour, then remove and cool completely on a rack.
- If desired, drizzle with icing before serving.
Notes
- Store leftover bread at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
