Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Set it aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until it forms a smooth paste.
-
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter in the pan. Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
-
Add the remaining batter on top of the cinnamon layer. Then, spoon the rest of the cinnamon mixture over the top. Swirl it into the batter as before.
-
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Serve slices on their own or toasted with a pat of butter.
