Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread

While cinnamon bread is a natural for breakfast, you’ll want to eat this Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread all day long!

I have tried my hand at making homemade bread a few times and I have still yet to master. But I am working on it. But quick breads? Those I can whip easily, like this Blueberry Bread or Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.

Another family favorite is Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread. It’s perfect for breakfast but you can really eat it any time of the day. It comes together in a matter of minutes (no waiting for the bread to rise)! All you have to do is mix together your dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately and fold together to make the thick batter.

Next comes the fun part, the cinnamon swirl! Don’t worry. It’s not difficult to get that swirl. Simply, layer the batter with the cinnamon sugar mixture and swirl with a knife. Once it’s done baking, let cool before topping with the glaze.

I know, I know, this is the hard part! But trust me, you are going to want to let it cool a little before glazing.
