One of the things I love most about fall is definitely cinnamon. I could eat it in pretty much everything, from Scones to Shortbread and even Bagels. But there really is nothing better than a slice of a Cinnamon Sweet Bread. It’s delicious anytime, at breakfast or snack with a coffee or tea. Try it.

How to make it

In a small bowl mix together the cinnamon, brown sugar and butter, this will be used as the swirl.

In a large bowl beat together the sour milk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined, the batter will be a little lumpy. Do not over mix as this will cause a tough heavy bread.

mixing the dry, wet and topping in bowls

Spoon half the batter into the prepared loaf pan, top with half the cinnamon mixture and swirl with the tip of a knife, top with the remaining batter and remaining cinnamon mixture. Swirl again and bake in the pre-heated oven. Let cool before serving.

Is Cinnamon good for you?

Apparently it is, cinnamon can help lower blood sugar levels, reduce heart disease risk factors and more. Not only does it taste good it’s good for you too. Of course like anything it should be eaten in the correct amounts.

How to make sour milk

In a one cup measurement add 1 tablespoon of either lemon juice or white vinegar, then top with milk to reach 1 cup. Let sit for about 10 minutes before using.

Why use room temperature ingredients?

Room temperature ingredients trap air which causes them to expand in the oven, for this reason they will help produce a light and soft textured bake. They also bind together much better when mixing, which will produce a smooth silky batter.

How to store it

The Cinnamon Bread should be stored in an airtight container or bag, it will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it, either in individual slices or a whole loaf wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer safe bag or container. It can be frozen for up to 1 month.

            This recipe was delicious, and in case anyone is wondering it can be made entirely vegan too. I made it with flax eggs, applesauce for internal butter and vegan butter for the swirl. Even with those changes it was amazing! I’ll make it again and again! Thank you!

            If using unsalted butter, should I add more than just a pinch of salt?

            Thanks.

              Hi Lo I think 2 pinches would be good, it’s only 1/4 cup, so that should be good. Let me know how it goes.

            For the Cinnamon Loaf can you use buttermilk for the sour milk?

            Sounds tasty & easy, and quick enough to make on the spur of the moment. Everyone usually has all of these ingredients on hand. One thing I’m wondering, is how the sodium content is so high per serving. Are you using salted, or unsalted butter?

              Hi Angelina, I always use salted, I can never find unsalted here. Hope that helps.
