Easy Cinnamon Swirl Bread!

My first post! How exciting! I was searching online and discovered this super easy recipe for Cinnamon Swirl Bread. I was intrigued by the simplicity of it so as soon as my son went down for a nap, I got busy in the kitchen! Within 15 minutes this bread was in the oven. Having a one-year-old, I love recipes that are quick yet delicious. Enjoy!

Easy Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Adapted from: Allrecipes.com

Ingredients:
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup white sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1/3 cup canola oil


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x5 in. loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon; set aside.

In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and remaining 1 cup sugar. Combine egg, milk and oil; add to flour mixture. Stir until just moistened.

Pour half of the batter into the pan. Sprinkle with half the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Pour remaining batter into pan, and top with remaining sugar/cinnamon mixture. 

Draw a knife through batter to swirl everything together.

Bake in at 350 for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 min. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Wrap in foil and let sit overnight before slicing.

Now let me be honest, I sort of skipped the last step of wrapping the bread in foil and letting it sit overnight. I mean, who can resist such delicious, warm, fresh bread from the oven? Not me that's for sure! So after it cooled I sliced into that bad boy, and it was definitely worth it! It was so yummy! I can see why letting it sit overnight might make the slicing a little less crumbly, but I didn't mind :)
