Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for swirl)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon for the swirl.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top, then add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Use a knife to gently swirl the batter and cinnamon sugar together.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter.
This bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
It can also be frozen for up to 3 months; just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
