Easy Homemade Cinnamon Quick Bread
Believe me when I say that this Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread is amazing! This bread comes together in minutes, and — even better — it doesn’t require a mixer, yeast or a bread machine! The bread is soft and moist with the perfect amount of cinnamon. It’s crunchy along the top and edges thanks to the cinnamon sugar topping, and topped with a powdered sugar glaze to guarantee each bite it sweet and delicious. This Cinnamon Quick Bread can be served for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. I love enjoying a warm or toasted slice with a cup of hot coffee in the morning, or as the something sweet I need before bed. I like to serve this bread warm with a bit of butter slathered on top and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!

How To Make Cinnamon Swirl Bread
First, mix together the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately than fold together to create a thick batter. Next, combine cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl. (This is our swirl!) I add half of the bread batter to a loaf pan then top it with half the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Pour in the remaining batter, followed by the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Using a butter knife, swirl the batter to marble the bread. (I typically do a couple figure 8’s). Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow it to cool for 30 minutes in the pan and take it out to cool completely on a wire rack. Slice it up, serve, and enjoy!
How To Make the Powdered Sugar Glaze
The glaze is totally optional, but I think it makes the bread! Simply combine powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl, and whisk until smooth and lump-free. Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle on top! If the glaze is too thick, add more milk; and if it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.
