Christmas Gift Idea | Easy Cinnamon Bread

I find inspiration virtually everywhere.  When I was shopping at Michael's for something for Adalyn, I came across ceramic loaf pans for just $1 and knew they would be great for gifting my cinnamon bread.  They had the perfect shade of red and green and a great standard, white!

Ingredients:
2 c sugar
4 c flour
2 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
2 c milk
2/3 c vegetable oil

1 Tbsp & 1 tsp cinnamon & 2/3 c sugar, combined

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease your loaf pans.  Combine flour, baking powder, salt and 2 c sugar.  In a separate bowl, combine egg, milk and oil.  Add to the flour mixture until just moistened.  Pour half the batter into the pans.  Add cinnamon sugar mixture.  Fill loaf pans, leaving an inch from the top for them to rise.  Bake 40 minutes.

I wrapped some of the loaves with parchment paper, baker's twine and garnished with cinnamon sticks and others with ribbon.  A batch yields 6 mini-loaves, that's a lot of happy friends!

I don't think I've had cinnamon bread before but I am a huge cinnamon fan,..and come to think of it I'm a huge bread (any carbs really) fan as well. I'm sure this would be great. Love the little dishes!

4 c flour - 2 cups sugar, plus another 2/3 for the cinnamon mixture. It's so moist-even a few days later.
