Cinnamon Raisin Quick Bread

Cinnamon raisin quick bread is a great way to get a spicy and sweet loaf in a hurry.

Add the optional glaze and this is becomes a much sweeter loaf that is perfect for dessert and brunch buffets.

Simple Ingredients

The greatest thing about this bread is that the ingredients are likely already in your pantry. There’s nothing fussy or special making it even easier to whip up when the urge strikes.

Optional Additions

While the bread is delicious just as it is, there are ways to bulk it up and make it even more special:

• Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts
• Stir in 1/2 cup dried currants or cranberries for a fruited bread
• 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips makes the bread even more of a dessert

Freeze for Later

This bread freezes quite well so feel free to double the recipe. Make one loaf to eat now, freeze the second loaf for later.

Freeze the completely cooled, whole loaf in an airtight bag or other container. Alternatively, slice the loaf and put the slices into an airtight container, this way you can just grab one or two slices as needed instead of thawing an entire loaf.

Eat the frozen bread up within 6 months to prevent freezer burn and maintain best flavor.
