Instructions
Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix the dry ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine the wet ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until well combined.
Prepare the batter:
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this may affect the texture of the bread.
Create the cinnamon swirl:
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and additional ground cinnamon. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. Repeat with the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Swirl the layers:
Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake the bread:
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the loaf:
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve:
Once cooled, slice and enjoy your delicious homemade cinnamon bread. Serve plain or with butter for extra flavor.
