How to Make Cinnamon Swirl Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
  7. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
  8. Swirl a knife or toothpick through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
