Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread

Recipe by: Regina Zona

“This is good but SWEET! A little bite goes a long way.”

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons whole milk

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking soda and salt. Combine buttermilk, egg and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and remaining sugar.
  • Grease the bottom only of a 9×5-in. loaf pan. Pour half the batter into pan; sprinkle with half the cinnamon-sugar. Carefully spread with remaining batter and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar; cut through batter with a knife to swirl.
  • Bake 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine confectioners’ sugar and enough milk to reach desired consistency; drizzle over loaf.
