Easy Cinnamon Swirl Bread Recipe

My friend introduced me to an Easy Cinnamon Swirl Bread Recipe a few years ago and I am glad she did. I am not much of a baker, but my kids get excited every time I make this delicious cinnamon roll bread. It never last long in our house and the kids request it all the time. This easy cinnamon bread is perfect for breakfast, brunch and even dessert.

Don’t spend a ridiculous amount of money on bread mixes, when you can make your own for half the price! Plus the homemade versions always taste better too.

Get the kids involved with this recipe, because they LOVE to use the butter knife to swirl the bread before you bake it. It is the perfect excuse to make something yummy with your kids. Some of my favorite memories is baking in the kitchen so I like to pass down those memories with my kids.

I will warn you… this cinnamon bread recipe is addicting. It is hard to eat just one slice. This cinnamon swirl bread recipe is easy to make so you can make it on a weekday for breakfast, but it is “fancy enough” to serve it on a special occasion.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk (you can use buttermilk, but isn’t necessary)
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup sugar (we will save 1/2 cup sugar for the cinnamon mixture)
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• For the Glaze:
  1 cup powdered sugar
  2 to 3 tablespoons milk
  1/2 teaspoon vanilla

How to make Easy Cinnamon Roll Bread Recipe:

1. Combine the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
2. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, egg and oil.
3. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
4. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar.
5. Grease the bottom a 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan.
6. Pour half of the batter into pan; sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar.
7. Spread with remaining batter and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar.
8. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon. I did it alot to mine. See the picture below.
   
9. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
10. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, mix together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk in a small bowl.
12. Drizzle over the bread and serve.

On a side note: You don’t have to make the icing if you don’t want. I have made it multiple times without icing and the kids gobbled it up without it. 🙂

I would think this could be very freezer friendly. You could freeze it whole or even freeze it after you have sliced it. Enjoy!
