This easy Cinnamon Bread recipe comes together in minutes! Deliciously spiced with cinnamon, moist and just right for breakfast or as a treat with a cup of coffee.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 1 pound / 450g loaf pan with parchment paper, letting the edges overhang for easy removal.
Add the liquid ingredients into your mixing bowl in this order: vegetable oil, buttermilk and eggs. Use a balloon whisk to gently beat together to combine.
Stir in the sugar then sift the flour into the bowl followed by the baking powder, soda, salt and vanilla powder (if using vanilla extract then add it in with the liquids). Gently stir to combine until there are no dry pockets of flour.
Pour half the batter into a loaf tin lined with parchment paper. Top with a layer of cinnamon sugar and then add the remaining batter.
Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar over the top and use a chopstick or similar to gently swirl the batter so that the cinnamon is marbled through the loaf.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until your cinnamon bread is well risen and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Lift out of the tin using the paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Slice and enjoy!

Notes
• This cinnamon bread will stay moist a delicious for a few days in an airtight container. You can also freeze it, whole or in slices and thaw in the fridge before serving.
• Freestyle by adding nuts and fruit such as pecans, walnuts, raisins etc.
• Don’t go overboard when swirling the sugar into the batter otherwise you will just have a uniformly colored bread instead of one marbled with cinnamon.
• Fancy a treat? Heat your cinnamon bread slice in the microwave for a few seconds before spreading with butter or spiced apple butter. YUM!
