Easy Cinnamon Raisin Quick Bread

Easy Cinnamon Raisin Quick Bread, a fast and simple Breakfast Bread, not too sweet. Perfect for when you want Raisin Bread but no time for a yeast Bread.

Celebrating the fact that I just replaced my oven made me so happy, I had to celebrate.  And celebrate I did with a fast and easy and so delicious Cinnamon Raisin Quick Bread.

I decided to make one of my Mom’s recipes and also one of my favourite combinations.  Hey can you tell it’s Fall?  I love Fall, everything about it.

From the changing of the leaves to the amazing smells to the wonderful fruit.  And of course don’t forget the cooling temperatures.

So why not Christen my oven with the best!  Actually raisins aren’t exactly my favourite but when you mix them with cinnamon and plop them in a bread or Bagel, that my friend’s is my ultimate breakfast!

I have been in cake and sweet loaf withdrawal from probably around April.  I was trying to make a Sweet Bread I wanted to share and every time I made it,it came out flatter and flatter.

At first I thought I might be adding too much or not enough or a bad combination of baking powder and baking soda but nooooo.

That’s when I decided to try making my tried and true Easy Yogurt Cake and as soon as I took it out of the oven it fell flat and was not cooked in the middle.

That is when I knew,  my oven temperature was way off.   I could make cookies or tarts, something that didn’t need very much time or the need to rise.

Needless to say fixing it was not really worth it since it was over 20 years old and to tell the truth I wanted a brand spanking new one.

Now that I have a terrific new oven let the baking begin.  Hello Cakes and Sweet Loafs and the occasional Yeast Bread and let’s not forget a Pizza now and again.

If you are looking for something fast, easy and delicious for breakfast this weekend why not give this Cinnamon Raisin Sweet Bread a try?  Enjoy!
