Cinnamon Swirl Bread with Glaze

Enjoy the flavors of a decadent cinnamon roll…without the hassle of yeast and rolling out the dough!

This easy iced cinnamon bread is packed with the perfect blend of sweet and spicy cinnamon goodness, baked into a moist and fluffy loaf.

I looooovvveee cinnamon rolls. In fact, they might be my favorite recipe (next to chocolate cake of course). However, homemade cinnamon rolls with yeast dough are definitely a labor of love and can take all day to make. If you have the time, I highly recommend my Granny’s cinnamon roll recipe! But if you’re looking for a shortcake cinnamon roll recipe, this cinnamon roll bread is totally worth a try!

This cinnamon swirl quick bread recipe is made with simple ingredients. All you do is mix, pour, and bake! No yeast, no kneading, no waiting for dough to rise!

I hope you love it too!

Prep Tips

• Glaze – Make sure the bread is mostly cool, to about room temperature, before adding the glaze. If the bread is still hot, it will melt the glaze and it won’t stick as well to the top of the loaf. You can also omit the glaze if you want more of a simple coffee cake texture and flavor.
• Cinnamon – Feel free to use any type of ground cinnamon you like! You can even mix a pinch of cinnamon into the glaze for extra flavor.
• Storage – Keep your bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze by wrapping the loaf in plastic wrap and placing into a large freezer bag.
