Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon to create the swirl mixture.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt until evenly mixed.
  4. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, cream 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter with 1 cup granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in 1 large egg, then mix in 1 cup milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp vegetable oil until just combined.
  6. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  7. Layer Batter and Cinnamon Sugar: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar evenly over the batter.
  8. Add Remaining Batter and Swirl: Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer, sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar on top, and use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter for a marbled effect.
  9. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your delicious cinnamon sugar bread!

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Use room temperature butter and eggs for best results.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
