A delightful and easy recipe for Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread that combines the warm flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg with a moist, tender crumb.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (for swirl)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for swirl)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for swirl)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nuts (if using) for the swirl.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter.
  7. Pour the remaining batter on top and finish with the rest of the swirl mixture. Use a knife to gently swirl the mixture into the batter.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added moisture, you can substitute half the milk with sour cream or yogurt.
  • To make it a bit healthier, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
