Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg until smooth. Add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until the batter is smooth and combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread evenly.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the top and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top.
- Swirl the batter gently using a knife in a figure-eight motion to create a cinnamon ripple inside.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use parchment paper to easily lift the bread from the pan.
For added richness, replace half the milk with Greek yogurt.
Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a soft texture.
You can double the recipe and freeze one loaf for later.
