A terrific quick bread recipe – emphasis on the word quick!

Super easy Cinnamon Bread recipe!

I bet it’s quicker for you to get this in the oven than to pop up to the shops for a loaf of cinnamon bread. Truly. Dear readers, this is a quick bread. Emphasis on the word quick. I promise there is nothing tricky about this recipe, and it’s actually quite forgiving. Once I only used 2 cups of flour instead of 2 1/2 cups (sometimes I over estimate my multi tasking capabilities!) and it still came out pretty much perfect. Not quite as tall, but other than that, it was pretty much the same. I use brown sugar instead of white, I swap the sour cream for yoghurt. If you don’t have baking soda, just use more baking powder and while it won’t rise quite as much, it will still rise well. In short – this recipe is quite versatile and hard to stuff up. Just the sort of baking I like!

A beautiful, moist Quick Bread

Usually quick breads are either moist or they are not as moist but have a lovely buttery flavour. The reason for this is that in baked goods (muffins, cakes etc), butter provides flavour but not moistness, and oil makes things moist but doesn’t add flavour. So my Easy Cinnamon Bread is a bit different because it’s super moist from the batter which is made with just oil, but you get delicious buttery flavour from the cinnamon-sugar-butter sludge (seriously, someone help me, there’s gotta be a better word!) that is dolloped into the batter.

Buttery Cinnamon Swirls!

Lastly, quick word of advice: do not stress about the swirl patterns!! Every time I make this Easy Cinnamon Bread, it comes out differently. Sometimes there are more swirls so the cinnamon sugar is more evenly dispersed throughout the bread. I think this looks prettier but when the swirls aren’t so spread out i.e. thicker strips of cinnamon in the bread, then you get these amazing more concentrated patches of buttery-cinnamon-sugar which reminds me of cinnamon rolls. Either way, it is so, so scrumptious. You really don’t need to slather it with butter. But honestly……….why not? Go on. You deserve it! – Nagi x
