- Sprinkle all but 1 tablespoon over the batter in pans.
- Top each with remaining batter.
- Cut through the batter gently with knife to make the cinnamon swirl throughout.
- Do not over mix.
- Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture over the top.
- Bake 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden pick comes out clean.
- Try to let them cool before cutting.

Yummy cinnamon bread! Very moist, almost like a coffee cake. I made slight alterations: a handful of raisins, and 2 tsp of cinnamon added to the batter in addition to that in the topping. I baked one large loaf since I didn't have the little ones. It baked for 50 minutes. Thanks for a great recipe! We will make this one again.

My husband, Allen, and I have been married over 30 years, and we have two young adult children. I didn't really know how to cook when we first married, but Allen was such a willing guinea pig, and so supportive of my efforts, that cooking and baking became a passion. I like to try new recipes and my family enjoys eating them (most of the time!). I work full time as a teacher consultant and really enjoy working with students with special needs.
