Cinnamon Sugar Loaves

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of devouring these delicious little guys at a Pampered Chef party.  This recipe is part of the Brownie Pan recipes, and since I’m a huge fan of anything cinnamon and sugar, naturally I ate as many of these that I could without getting into trouble for taking too many of them.  So when the brownie pan entered my kitchen, this was the first thing on my recipe list to try out.

Without surprise, these are best when eaten right out of the oven when they’re nice and warm.  This is one of those desserts where it would be great with coffee or hot chocolate…and could also be a great breakfast treat as well.  My sister-in-law suggested drizzling a vanilla icing on top, and I absolutely agree.  In fact, the vanilla icing that is used on top of the pumpkin cookies would be absolutely perfect.  Although I made just a tiny modification to the recipe (used all cinnamon instead of the half cinnamon and half nutmeg, and used a combination of white sugar and brown sugar), these were absolutely delicious.  Another great recipe for this pan would be the pumpkin bars…I’ve already made them twice, and they were a huge hit!

Cinnamon Sugar Loaves Recipe:

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 egg

3/4 cup milk

For the cinnamon Sugar Topping:

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a classic batter bowl with stainless steel whisk.  In a small batter bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, egg, and milk.  Add dry ingredients and stir only to combine.  Use large cookie scoop to divide among brownie pan wells, bake for 15-20 minutes (until lightly browned on top and sides slightly pull away).  Remove from pan immediately.  Combine sugar and cinnamon, dip tops into butter, then dip into cinnamon sugar.

*Optional: Drizzle with vanilla icing.
