Costco Cinnamon Bread Recipe Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 1/3 cups sugar
• 4 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup canola oil

How To Make Costco Cinnamon Bread

1. Prep the pan and cinnamon sugar: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Use the 1 tablespoon of butter to grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of sugar and 3 teaspoons of cinnamon. Stir them together and set aside.
2. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and the remaining 1 cup of sugar. Sift or whisk them together to combine.
3. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Create the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir by hand only until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Layer and swirl the batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle evenly with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add the remaining batter on top. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the batter a few times to create a marbled effect. Top with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
6. Bake and cool: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
7. Coat and serve: Carefully turn the loaf out of the pan onto a large plate. Much of the loose cinnamon-sugar topping will fall off. Gently press all sides of the warm bread into the loose cinnamon sugar on the plate to coat it. Slice and serve.

Recipe Tips

• How to get the perfect cinnamon swirl? Don’t overdo it with the knife. One or two gentle “S” shaped swirls are all you need to create a beautiful marble effect without mixing the cinnamon layer completely into the batter.
• Can I add a glaze? Absolutely. A simple glaze made from powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and a little vanilla extract would be delicious drizzled over the cooled bread.
• How do I know when the bread is done? The toothpick test is the most reliable method. Insert a toothpick or wooden skewer into the thickest part of the loaf. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached, it’s done.
• How to prevent the bread from being dry? The key is not to overmix the batter. Stir the wet and dry ingredients together only until you no longer see streaks of flour. Overmixing develops gluten, which can lead to a tough, dry bread.

What To Serve With Cinnamon Bread

This sweet bread is delicious on its own but also pairs wonderfully with:

• A pat of salted butter
• A cup of hot coffee or tea
• A tall glass of cold milk
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert

How To Store Cinnamon Bread

• Refrigerate: Store the bread in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 4 days.
