Cinnamon Sugar Swirl Quick Bread

I love quick breads.  Quick breads are like eating cake for breakfast, or for a snack.  However you choose to eat it.  I typically like to make quick breads that have healthy things added to them, like Zucchini or carrots, but when I saw this recipe on the Whisk & a Prayer blog, I knew I just had to try it.  I decided to make a double batch.  So here's the recipe:

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl Quick Bread

Adapted from Allrecipes.com

 

Ingredients

1/3 cup white sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup white sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 cup milk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.  Mix the cinnamon with the 1/3 C. sugar. (Oops, when I made mine I used 2/3 C. sugar with the cinnamon for each bread.)

In large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and 1 cup sugar. Add egg, milk, and oil to flour mixture.  Stir until just moistened.  Pour half of the batter into pan.  Cover with remaining batter.  Top with more cinnamon/sugar if desired.  Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes clean.  Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.  Wrap in foil and let sit overnight before slicing. ( I actually decided to slice one loaf and try some, and save the other loaf and wrap it up in foil.)  In the future, I think I would add some vanilla flavor or butter flavor to the batter to add a little more depth of flavor.  Yield: 1 loaf    Enjoy!
