As I get older, little things seem to hurt more. An old injury that I could run through in my twenties now seems to irritate me more in my thirties. I can't pull all night study sessions like I used to in my earlier college years. I require sleep. Like more than two hours of sleep a night sleep.
There are a lot of things I miss about my twenties.
But there are a lot of things I also love about my thirties.
Like the fact that I've been running better. I may have a slower pace, but I enjoy running now. I am more relaxed during my runs. I can also take the time to enjoy the things that I love to do with the person and people that I enjoy doing them with. I have a solid group of friends, a wonderful family, and a loving husband. I am enjoying school without the distractions I had in my twenties of boys, parties, a full time job with full time school. I love my job as a mother, a wife and working from home and going to school part time. I only thought I was busy in my twenties. My thirties are a lot busier, but also more fulfilling.
Like me, this cinnamon roll bread has changed and evolved to become a winning recipe. It's a simple and easy bread to make and tastes delicious!
Mmm!! A cinnamon surprise!
Enjoy some delicious bread with a cup of coffee or milk anytime now! It's ready in under an hour!
Cinnamon Roll Quick Bread
For the bread:
2 cups all purpose or white whole wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
⅓ cup vanilla or plain greek yogurt
For the swirl:
⅓ cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1-2 tbsp water
For the glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the bread. Stir until all ingredients are mixed well. Pour mixture into a lightly greased bread pan.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon and water. Drop by tablespoons onto the top of the bread in random areas. Draw a knife through the loaf to make a marble pattern with the swirl mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it cool for 10-15 minutes before removing it from the pan to finish cooling completely on a wire rack.
Mix together the glaze ingredients and pour over the loaf evenly. Serve.
Just got through making this and it is wonderful! It had a pretty unique cinnamon swirl all through the bread. Had to snap a couple of pics before everybody dived into it! Thanks for sharing, will definitely make again.

Diane, I am so glad that you liked it. It's one of our favorites! Have a great weekend!
It is very good, love the texture of it! I did substitute butter for the water in the swirl since the bread didn't have any oil or butter in it which worked well. Will definitely be making again. Have a great weekend yourself! I have no idea how my original comment got posted twice! Delete one if you can. :))
