Tips on how to make the BEST Homemade Cinnamon Bread
- Measure the flour correctly for the best result. Spoon it into a measuring cup and level it with the back of a knife!
- If your cinnamon is not as potent and your a cinnamon fan you can increase the amount to 3 tsp for a more intense flavour
- To get a cinnamon swirl you have to draw a knife through the batter but don’t mix it too much or you won’t get a distinguished swirl
- Every oven is different so make sure to check the bread for doneness with a skewer
- Wrap in plastic wrap and let sit overnight before slicing for the best flavour
- This bread keeps fresh for up to 5 days stored tightly wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature
- Don’t store it in the fridge! It will dry out if it is stored in a cold environment
- You can freeze this Cinnamon Bread for up to 3 months tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. Defrost on the counter overnight

I made this tonight. It smelled great and my husband and I couldn’t wait to try it. We both agreed it’s good, but it seems to be missing something. If I made it again I would add more apples &/or spices.
Hi Peggy, great that you and your husband liked it! I’m not really sure what you mean by “more apples” because this recipe doesn’t have any apples in it and the only spice in this Cinnamon Swirl Bread is cinnamon. Did you perhaps make a different recipe? – Julia
I love quick breads and this one looks like one I need to make ASAP! This one reminds me of a danish with it’s cinnamon swirl so that means dessert for breakfast. Right?! :-)
I’m a sucker for sweet breads. This one is DELISH!
