How to Make Cinnamon Breakfast Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly oil the bottom and sides of a loaf pan (a KitchenAid soft-sided loaf pan is recommended).
In a large bowl, combine the following ingredients in order: 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 cup (240ml) applesauce (or substitute with 1 cup of crushed pineapple with juice); 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Mix the first six ingredients thoroughly using a spoon.
In a small bowl, lightly beat one large egg with a fork and then add it to the wet ingredients.
Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool completely in the pan before slicing. Slice into 10-12 pieces and freeze in a zip-top bag for easy toaster breakfasts.
Toast slices directly from frozen. Enjoy!
