Cinnamon Bread with Raisins
Cinnamon Raisin Quick Bread is a soft, easy loaf with a sweet cinnamon swirl and raisins, perfect for breakfast or snacking.
Servings: 12 servings (1 loaf)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup raisins
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup canola or vegetable oil
CINNAMON SUGAR SWIRL:
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
GLAZE:
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray the bottom only of a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking soda and salt. Stir in the raisins. Add the buttermilk, egg and oil, and stir to combine until moistened.
COMBINE THE CINNAMON/SUGAR:
- In a small bowl, combine the ½ cup sugar with the cinnamon.
CREATE THE LOAF
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar. Carefully, spoon in the remaining batter. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar. Cut throught the batter with a knife to swirl.
- Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, and then remove the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
ADD THE GLAZE:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the loaf.
Notes
- Don’t overmix: Stir just until combined for a tender loaf
- Swirl lightly: This keeps the cinnamon sugar layered instead of blended
- Check doneness: Insert a toothpick in the center—should come out clean
- Optional add-ins: Nuts or golden raisins work well
- Storage tip: Wrap tightly to keep the bread moist
