- 1 cup buttermilk (substitute with almond milk for a vegan option)
- 2 large eggs (substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for the cinnamon swirl)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup white sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until well combined.
- Create the batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Prepare the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
- Layer the batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer, then sprinkle the top with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
