Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over the batter.

Step 7

Top with the remaining batter and then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon mixture on top.

Step 8

Using a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Serve plain or with a spread of butter for a delightful treat!
