# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
04 -
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the batter just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and fluffy.
05 -
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. This will create the swirl that enhances the bread's flavor.
06 -
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Add the remaining batter and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. Use a knife to gently swirl and create a marbled effect.
07 -
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
08 -
Once the bread is baked, cool it in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
09 -
Brush the warm bread with melted butter. Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the top of the bread.
10 -
Slice the bread into thick pieces and serve. This loaf is ideal for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.
