How to Make Healthy Cinnamon Cream Cheese Swirl Bread Whole Wheat

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened margarine, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1/2 cup (120ml) skim milk and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup (60g) raisins or sultanas (optional).
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon evenly over the batter. Dollop 4 ounces (113g) softened cream cheese on top of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Pour the remaining batter over the cream cheese layer.
  9. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Enjoy warm, or top with cream cheese icing for an extra decadent treat!
