I love the aroma of cinnamon which means, I am happy, baking with lots of cinnamon in the batter. I was visiting Kitty’s Kozy Corner and that magic word, jumped out at me and I was hooked. All plans of other cookies and cakes went out the window and I almost ran to the kitchen to make this gem. It is a simple quick bread but my husband called it cake, as soon as he tasted it. He also gasped out the word, “cinnamon.” I queried, “You like cinnamon?” He enthusiastically shook his head up and down, while grabbing another slice. He, really is a civilized person and normally would have reached the table, before the first bite but this time, he cheated and tasted it, standing up. This bread will, very likely, be around for a while and I am not speaking of this loaf.
Cinnamon Lovers’ Quick Bread adapted from Kitty’s Kozy Kitchen, a great place to visit and to stay awhile
Ingredients
2 cups flour (I made this gluten-free so I used a gluten-free mix)
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
Streusel
3 tablespoons ground almonds
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons Canola oil
Procedure
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease & flour 9 x 5- inch loaf pan. Lightly spoon flour into cup; level off. In large bowl , combine all bread ingredients & beat for 3 minutes on medium speed of mixer. Pour batter into prepared pan.
In small bowl, combine all streusel ingredients until crumbly; sprinkle over batter & swirl lightly to marble. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan immediately.
Cool completely before slicing.
I do love cinnamon, though I don’t know if I could wait till it completely cools to taste it. I’d have to cheat and break off a piece!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the bread! Thanks for the shout-out!!!
Me! Me! I’m a cinnmon lover! This is awsome–thanks!
See…I got so excited I couldn’t spell.
YUM! We love cinnamon at our house, my kids would go crazy for a piece of this!
I love this! It looks great!
I love cinnamon smell so much I’ve already purchased the holiday cinnamon scented pinecones and always throw my clementine peels into a pot of water and cinnamon and simmer.
This looks so yummy!
I got a huge, “I love cinnamon!” last night when I gave my son some leftover apples mixed with cinnamon and sugar to snack on. I didn’t even know he knew what cinnamon was! Thanks for linking up at A Little Nosh this week!
This sounds fantastic! I am definitely a cinnamon lover, so I can’t wait to try making a gluten-free version. Thanks fro sharing this and your hash brown recipe with the Gallery of Favorites.
