Lower-Fat Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread image

This is an easy and DELICIOUS cinnamon swirl bread. My family loves it...it's hard to keep on the shelf for long! This is lower fat because my recipe substitutes applesauce for most of the oil, but you cannot tell..it makes it better I think. We also don't make the glaze all the time- and love the bread even without it!

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups sugar, DIVIDED
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and remaining 1 cup of sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, applesauce, and oil. Stir into dry ingredients JUST until combined. (Do not overmix.). (If you do not have buttermilk, buttermilk substitutes work. I use lemon juice and milk method.).
  • Grease the bottom only of a 9-in.x 5-in.x 3-in. loaf pan.
  • Pour half of the batter into pan; sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mix.
  • Carefully spread with remaining batter and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar.
  • Swirl knife through batter.
  • Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

  • If desired, combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over bread.

This bread is a little dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

This bread is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The bread is still delicious, even without a lot of cinnamon. The frosting is also very good.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The bread was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.
