Ingredients
Cinnamon Swirl
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Streusel
- 3 tablespoon cold butter
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Bread
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- ⅔ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cold butter. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until crumbly. Stir in nuts if using. Refrigerate while preparing the batter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
- In a large bowl, whisk oil, egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and granulated sugar for the cinnamon swirl.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top. Spread the remaining batter on top.
- Finish with the rest of the streusel, gently pressing it into the batter. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the streusel starts browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice, serve, and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
