Ingredients
For the Bread Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Swirl
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Mix the Dry Items
- Add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Stir until all dry ingredients blend smoothly.
Whisk the Wet Items
- In another bowl, whisk milk, melted butter, egg and vanilla. Mix until the liquid becomes smooth and creamy.
Combine All Mixtures
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry bowl. Stir gently until the batter forms without overmixing.
Prepare the Cinnamon Mix
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir until combined well for a sweet swirl.
Fill the Loaf Pan
- Pour half the batter into a greased loaf pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Add the Cinnamon Layer
- Sprinkle half the cinnamon mix over the batter. Spread it gently across the whole surface.
Add More Batter
- Pour the rest of the batter over the cinnamon. Smooth the top gently without pushing down.
Add Top Cinnamon Mix
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon mix on the top. This adds a sweet crust after baking.
Bake the Bread
- Bake in a hot oven until the top is golden. The bread should rise nicely and feel firm.
Cool Before Cutting
- Remove the bread and let it rest a bit. Cool before slicing so it holds its shape well.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter. It keeps the bread soft.
- Use fresh cinnamon for strong flavor.
- Add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
- Make sure your loaf pan is well greased.
- Let the bread cool before slicing for clean cuts.
