Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all your ingredients carefully. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan so the bread bakes evenly and doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. This ensures the spices and leavening distribute evenly throughout the bread.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Layer Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle a generous layer of the cinnamon sugar mixture at the bottom of the loaf pan, pour half the batter, repeat the cinnamon sugar layer, then pour the remaining batter on top to create a swirl effect.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before removing from the pan.

Notes

  • Use eggs and milk at room temperature to help the batter mix evenly.
  • Fold gently and avoid overmixing to prevent dense bread.
  • Use fresh, quality ground cinnamon for superior flavor and aroma.
  • Check baking doneness beginning 5 minutes before timer ends, as ovens may vary.
  • Line your loaf pan with parchment paper before greasing for easy removal.
