Description
A fluffy, moist cinnamon bread with a sweet sugar crust and buttery cinnamon swirls, perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup softened butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir until mixed well.
- Whisk together the milk, applesauce, vegetable oil, and eggs in a separate bowl until fully blended.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Combine the ground cinnamon and softened butter in a small bowl to create a smooth cinnamon swirl mixture.
- Pour half of your batter into the greased loaf pan. Then dollop half of the cinnamon butter mixture over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the cinnamon butter. Use a knife to swirl the mixtures together.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
