Ingredients
Bread
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, light or dark
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk, see note
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- Mix the Cinnamon Sugar. Combine the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Make the Bread Batter. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until combined. Whisk in the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently whisk until there are no more lumps. Try not to over-mix.
- Prepare the Bread. Spread half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Top evenly with about 3/4 of your cinnamon-sugar mixture. Gently spread the remaining batter on top as best you can and sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar. Using a knife, gently swirl the batter with 1 simple swirl from the top to the bottom of the loaf pan.
- Bake the Bread. Bake the bread for 50-65 minutes, tenting loosely with foil halfway through bake time. To test for doneness, poke the center of the bread with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. Allow bread to cool completely in the pan before cutting.
Notes
Buttermilk: You can make your own buttermilk by taking 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a measuring cup and adding enough milk until it reaches 1 cup. Let sit for 5 minutes until it is somewhat curdled. Use in recipe as stated.
Leftovers: Cover and store leftover bread at room temperature for 3-4 days.
