Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Salt-free baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Low-fat milk
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon (for swirl)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with unsalted butter or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt-free baking powder, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, melt the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and low-fat milk to the melted butter. Whisk until all the wet ingredients are fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or a wooden spoon just until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon swirl mixture by combining the brown sugar with the remaining 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Pour the remaining batter on top, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Finish by sprinkling the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the top.

Step 8

Using a butter knife, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter by making a few figure-eight motions through the mixture. Be careful not to over-swirl to maintain a distinct cinnamon pattern.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
