Cinnamon Raisin Bread Recipe

Whenever I go to Canada the first thing I buy in the grocery store is a loaf of Cinnamon Raisin Bread. My absolute favourite, toasted with butter and peanut butter. So good.

I am not a big fan of raisins although in bread, bagels or Butter Tarts,  they are perfect.

What I love about this bread is that it is more like a quick loaf, which means no yeast needed. It’s perfect in the morning or I love it in the afternoon with a cup of coffee.

How to make Easy Cinnamon Raisin Bread.

1. Place raisins in a bowl of boiling water and let them sit for about 15 or 20 minutes.
2. Cream butter and sugar, then add the egg and combine.
3. Whisk the dry ingredients together.
4. Alternately add the dry ingredients with the milk to the creamed mixture.
5. Mix together some brown sugar and cinnamon, remove a couple of tablespoons of the mixture and toss with the well drained and towel dried raisin.
6. Spoon half the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture, cover with the remaining batter.
7. Sprinkle with the raisin mixture and then bake. This is delicious warm or let cool and dust with powdered sugar.

Probably one of the most important steps is to soak those raisins in the boiling water. Because if you don’t. Somebody just may break a tooth!

Those raisins become hard as pebbles. Cinnamon Raisin Bread is the perfect breakfast, snack or even dessert quick loaf. Enjoy!
