cinnamon swirl bread

This vanilla flavored cinnamon swirl quick bread is moist and soft with a thick ribbon of cinnamon sugar swirled inside. Feel free to turn this recipe into muffins or mini loaves. See recipe notes below.

Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread

(100 grams) granulated sugar

cinnamon

(250 grams) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)

teaspoon baking soda

teaspoon salt

1 large egg,

(150 grams) granulated sugar

milliliters) vegetable oil

(80 grams) sour cream

(160 milliliters) whole milk,

vanilla extract

vanilla icing

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.

Cinnamon Swirl

Mix the 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar and 1 Tablespoon of ground cinnamon together.

Bread

Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar together until combined. Whisk in the oil, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then whisk to completely combine. Avoid over-mixing. You will have about 3 cups of batter.

Pour/spread half of the batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle almost all of the cinnamon sugar evenly on top (reserve about 2 Tablespoons for topping). It&#8217;s a very thick layer of cinnamon sugar. Carefully pour/spread remaining batter evenly on top. The top layer of batter will want to stick to the cinnamon sugar filling, making spreading a little tougher to do, but use a spoon to carefully spread it out as best you can. Sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon sugar. Using a knife, make a large swirl down the loaf pan, as shown in the video tutorial above. Avoid over-swirling, which will mix the layers together too much.

Bake the bread for 50 minutes to 1 hour, covering loosely with foil about halfway through to prevent the top from over-browning. Poke the center of the bread with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. Oven times will vary between ovens. My bread usually takes 55 minutes. Cool bread completely in the pan set on a wire rack.

Drizzle with icing, if using. Slice and serve. Cover and store leftover bread at room temperature for 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Hi Sally, I don’t have sour cream if I use the buttermilk I can have it measured in 1cup? Thanks a lot

I am excited to try this recipe.  Could you use slices of this quick bread to make cinnamon french toast or this quick bread too much like a cake?   Thanks!

Followed directions exactly (used Greek yogurt because that is what I had). Was really great. Thank you for the recipe!

I couldn't see myself pouring oil into this beautiful mixture so I used a half cup of butter. Amazing!!

This is such an easy and quick recipe! The room temp ingredients make a difference. I have been testing out recipes to mimic the Starbucks coffee cake and this is perfect!

Cinnamon Swirl Bread

¼ Teaspoon Active Dry Yeast (1 packet)

⅔ Cup warm milk (about 110°)

½ Cup sugar (divided)

Egg (room temperature)

Tbsp Unsalted Butter (softened)

Salt

½-3 Cups All Purpose Flour

Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon

Milk

In the bowl of a mixer whisk the yeast and warm milk together and let the yeast dissolve. Add ¼ cup sugar, the egg, butter, salt, and 2 ½ cups of flour. Mix on medium speed until fully combined. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour 1-2 tablespoons at a time until the dough is soft and tacky but not sticky.

Switch from the paddle attachment to the dough hook and knead on medium-low speed for 5-6 minutes, until the dough is smooth. Place in a greased bowl and cover. Set in a warm place and let rise for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.

Punch the dough down and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to an 18x9 inch rectangle. In a small bowl mix together the remaining ¼ cup of sugar and cinnamon. Leaving ½ inch edge, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the dough. If the cinnamon sugar is having trouble sticking to the dough, you can very lightly mist the dough with water from a spray bottle. You can also mist the top of the cinnamon sugar to prevent large holes from forming between the layers, but be careful to not mist too much otherwise the cinnamon sugar can leak out.

Starting with the short end, roll the dough up. Make it a tight log by slightly stretching the rolled end towards you as you roll. Pinch the seam together. Place in a greased 9x5 inch pan seam side down. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for about 1-1 ½ hours, until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 350°. Once doubled in size, mix together the egg and milk for the egg wash. Brush the top of the loaf with the egg wash and then bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the pan and cool on a cooling rack.

Sweet and lightly spiced Cinnamon Apple Bread is pure homemade comfort in loaf form. Packed with fresh apples and cinnamon sugar filling, this sweet bread is topped with a vanilla icing!

Apple Cinnamon Bread

brown sugar

unsalted butter (softened)

eggs

baking powder

milk

large apple (peeled and finely chopped (about 1 cup apple bits))

Tablespoons milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.

In a small bowl,. combine brown sugar and cinnamon together and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and butter until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and continue to beat on medium speed until combined.

Add flour and baking powder, then mix in the milk.

Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Cover with half of the diced apples (press them slightly into the batter).

Sprinkle with half of brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Pour the remaining batter over apple layer; top with remaining apples and add more brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.

Pat topping into the batter with the back of a large spoon.

Bake for 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool in pan 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

In a small bowl, whisk together the icing ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread and allow to set, about 15 minutes. ENJOY.

If you enjoy the classic cinnamon swirl bread, you&#39;re in for a treat with this sourdough cinnamon sugar bread. This version is a game changer—no need for exact swirls, yet it packs more flavor in every slice. It&#39;s the perfect twist on a favorite, making it even better and easier to love.

Sourdough Cinnamon Sugar Bread

water (adjust as needed)

bread flour

sourdough starter (active)

oil (neutral tasting oils work best)

salt

ground cinnamon

light brown sugar

heavy cream (milk

STEP 1. Start by combining your dough ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let it mix for about 20 minutes. This dough is quite hydrated, so it will be a shaggy dough at the start. It will then turn into a stretchy and sticky dough, which is exactly what we want at this point.

STEP 2. Transfer the mixed dough to an oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise at room temperature. Use a lid, a plastic wrap, or simply a plastic bag to cover it and prevent it from drying out. This first rise, or bulk fermentation, should take about 4-6 hours. The warmth of your kitchen will play a big part in how quickly it rises.

STEP 3. After the bulk ferment, cool the dough in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This step helps develop flavor and makes the dough easier to work with.

STEP 4. Prepare the cinnamon sugar filling by mixing ground cinnamon and light brown sugar in a small bowl. Roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle. Lightly brush the dough with heavy cream (or milk/water). Sprinkle 2/3 of your filling on top, leaving a small border around the edges. Now, fold the dough: bring the short sides towards the middle, overlapping them slightly.Sprinkle the rest of your cinnamon sugar over this folded dough. Next, start at one short end and roll it up tightly, like you&#39;re making a dough log.

Step 5. Place this log seam-side down in your parchment paper lined loaf pan for its second rise. This final proof gives the bread its final shape and size, taking about 2-4 hours at room temperature.

STEP 6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to heat up. While that&#39;s happening, grab a cast iron pan or another oven-safe dish and fill it with some water. This is going to sit on the bottom of your oven and create steam while your bread bakes, which helps give the crust a nice texture. Now, take the dough that&#39;s been rising in the loaf pan and make a shallow cut down the center with a sharp knife or a razor blade. This isn&#39;t just for looks; it helps the bread expand evenly while it cooks. Brush the top of the dough with a little more cream, milk, or water—this helps the top get a nice color without burning.Score the loaf, brush it with the remaining cream/milk/water.Then, loosely cover the loaf pan with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in. Carefully place your loaf pan in the oven, and don&#39;t forget to add the pan with water for steam. Bake it at the set temperature of 400°F (200°C) for about 50 minutes.Remove the foil 10 minutes before the bread is done for a golden brown crust.

STEP 7. Cool the baked bread on a wire rack. Patience here is key; wait until the bread cools before slicing it to enjoy the full flavor and texture!

Delicious vanilla pound cake loaf with a swirl of cinnamon and a brown sugar and cinnamon topping.

Cinnamon Swirl Pound Cake Loaf

salted butter (at room temperature)

white granulated sugar

eggs (at room temperature)

vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)

all purpose flour (spooned and levelled)

sour cream (at room temperature)

Tablespoons brown sugar

Tablespoon milk

Preheat oven to 325F (not fan assisted) and grease an 8 x 4-inch or 4 x 10-inch loaf pan. Set aside.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add 1/2 of the dry mixture to the butter mixture, then the sour cream, then the rest of the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.

Remove 1 cup of the batter to a medium bowl. Add the cinnamon swirl ingredients to it - the brown sugar, cinnamon and milk and stir to combine.

Spoon a thin layer of the plain batter into the bottom of your prepared loaf pan. Using a spoon, drop alternating spoonfuls of the plain and the cinnamon batter into the pan. Top with the remaining plain batter and smooth the top. Using a long skewer or knife, run through the batter in the pan a few times (either lengthwise or from side to side). Just about 3 lengthwise or 4-5 side to side should do it).

Make topping by combining the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the loaf.

Bake loaf in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the centre of the loaf comes out clean. (4x10 pan will cook more quickly, 55-60 minutes, while an 8x4 will take a bit longer, closer to 65 or a few minutes more).

Allow loaf to cool in the pan about 10 minutes, then run a knife around the outside and remove to a cooling rack to cool.

Excellent recipe!  Follow this to the letter!  The ingredient ratio is well-compiled. Cooking times work well. The result is a fine-crumb loaf with just the right amount of cinnamon.  Thanks so much. 

Such a perfect amount of cinnamon! So delicious!! Will definitely add this to my recipe book! 

This is so moist and flavorful, perfect for a snack or breakfast! Delicious 💜

This was an absolute hit for the whole family!

Yummy. I baked for 50 min using a 6 cup Bundt pan. Didn’t make topping.

This was delicious! Planning on making one to freeze and bring on an upcoming trip.

Whole wheat cinnamon swirl bread -- a delicious recipe to toast up in the morning and spread with nut butter!

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Swirl Bread

all purpose flour

whole wheat flour

active dry yeast

butter

sea salt

For the filling:

In a large bowl, combine 3 cups all purpose flour and yeast.

In a medium saucepan melt butter completely over low heat. Stir in milk, salt and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Stir for about two minutes.

Next, stir the milk mixture into your flour mixture. Add the eggs, and beat with a mixer on low on medium speed for 1 min, and then on high speed for 2 minutes.

Next stir in as much of the whole wheat flour as you can. Make sure to do this 1 cup at a time.  You should be able to get at least 3 cups mixed in.  You can do this by hand or with a KitchenAid mixer using your dough hook.

Knead the dough 6-8 minutes, adding remaining flour until the dough is moderately stiff but still flexible and smooth.  Shape into a large ball.

Coat a large bowl with oil and place your dough ball inside.  Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Remove the towel and punch the dough 3 or 4 times to let out the air. Separate the dough into two smaller balls. Place the dough balls on a floured surface and roll out to resemble rectangles.

Cover and make your cinnamon sugar mixture by mixing butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar together.

Sprinkle each rectangle with cinnamon sugar mixture (and raisins if you choose), then tightly roll up the dough and tuck sides in.  Place each loaf in a greased bread pan.

Cover and let rise another 20-30 min. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Brush dough with melted butter or egg wash if desired. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Check the loaves after 15 minutes—if they are browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.

This bread turned out perfectly! My husband and I both love it and will be making it regularly. Thanks for the recipe!

This was very good. I made twice one for my family and for another family.  I couldn't quite get the roll tight enough and the cinnamon leaked out.  It was ugly but delicious.
