Cinnamon and Sugar Quick Bread

If you enjoy a sweet breakfast treat, then you definitely need to try our cinnamon and sugar quick bread! It is so good and makes for a delicious breakfast recipe. 

This cinnamon swirl bread is called a quick bread because it is an easy bread with no yeast at all. Which I love because it makes it pretty hard to mess up. 

So, if you are a beginner in the kitchen, don’t shy away from this recipe. It is very simple that you can feel comfortable making it and even impressing your friends and family when you share it. That is if you want to share. 

I love to make this tasty quick bread recipe for a brunch when I am hosting and then like to pair it with our homemade slow cooker hot chocolate, lemon blueberry quick bread, and pumpkin zucchini bread! I’m getting hungry just thinking about it all.

How To Make Our Cinnamon and Sugar Quick Bread

1. Preheat oven to 350℉.
2. Spray the inside (bottom and sides) of 2 loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. I used 9″x5″x3″ pans. Set pans aside.
3. In a small mixing bowl, prepare the brown sugar cinnamon filling and set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat together sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
6. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream to the creamed butter/sugar mixture while mixing on a low speed. Combine until just blended (be sure to not overmix).
7. Pour 1 ½ cups of the batter into the bottom of each pan (should be about 1/4 of the batter in each pan).
8. Sprinkle ¼ cup of the brown sugar filling in each pan on top of the batter.
9. Top with another 1 ½ cups of batter in each pan, then divide and sprinkle the remaining brown sugar filling on the batter in each pan.
10. Bake for 55-65 minutes (start checking it around 55 minutes) until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf pan comes out clean.
11. Let the bread cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes and then remove from pans and let them completely cool on a wire rack.
