**Cinnamon Oatmeal Bread With Icing**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup old-fashioned oats
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup milk
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**For the icing:**
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1-2 tablespoons milk
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. While the bread is baking, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
8. Once the bread is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Drizzle the icing over the cooled bread, letting it cascade down the sides for a beautiful finish.
10. Slice the Cinnamon Oatmeal Bread and serve with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat that will warm both body and soul.
