You have to make this. Have to, have to. It was SO good!!!! I love any kind of toasted nuts and the toasted pecans are oh so wonderful on top of the bread and swirled throughout. The source mentioned she used buttermilk instead of regular milk for extra moistness. I just so happened to have buttermilk in the fridge that I needed to use before it went bad. This will be made again and again. I envision it Christmas morning in fact!

Hi Kelli, sorry to hear that. Did you end up baking the Cinnamon Swirl Bread for longer than 50 minutes? How did it turn out?

Wonderful bread…I made a loaf and took it to work…now I’m everyone’s best friend but there is a downside…they expect a loaf every week!!

It is a rainy day here in the mountains so I am craving something “cinnamon”. Blind luck showed me your recipe and it sounds perfect! I am going to make this today. Thank you for making my afternoon. (I do know that something sweet should not make me so happy…don’t care.) ;-)

Made the bread this morning, just as directed. It needs more cinnamon sugar mixture next time to swirl between layers,so I will double that recipe. Otherwise the cake is moist, with buttermilk, and it rose to top of pans ( I noticed you used double thickness pan). House smelled wonderful of cinnamon, while baking!Thanks for recipe!
Yvonne
I’m so happy you liked it, you’re very welcome! Wish I had a warm loaf right about now…
Yvonne I came over from Cosmopolitan and I must say this is lovely. Neat how you layered the Cinnamon mixture. Guess that is the swirl. Any time you want some Cinnamon for your next recipe, hit us up. We would love to send you a complimentary bag of our USDA organic Ceylon Cinnamon powder.
Yvonne
Thank you so much, you’re very kind.

Hokey pete this looks amazzinggg! I am going to be making this ASAP! I am not a nut fan in my breads, I in fact wanted to make chocolate chip bead and thought cinnamon would be a nice addition. So I will be adding chocolate chips to this!! I can feel the diabetes already lol. I may put just a tid bit less sugar in because of the chocolate. Maybe a tablespoon less.
Yvonne
Haha! This is the best comment ever – love it! Hope you loved the bread :)
