Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 8

Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer and smooth out the top again.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the final batter layer.

Step 10

Using a butter knife or skewer, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar layers into the batter by making figure-eight patterns throughout the loaf pan.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

For added richness, brush the top of the warm bread with melted unsalted butter before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
