‘Tis the season for baking and gifting! I like to combine both :) This cinnamon streusel quick bread is perfect for a hostess, friend or neighbor! Just bake it in festive paper loaf pans and add a cute gift tag (I found these in the Target dollar spot). This delicious bread is moist, flavorful and has a generous cinnamon swirl in the middle. And I believe the more streusel the better! I used three small loaf pans, but probably could have distributed the batter between four of them since they overflowed a bit. Whatever size you choose, just be sure to fill it half way. It will rise quite a bit and you don’t want the streusel falling off. If you’re looking for more quick bread recipes, make sure to check out my pumpkin bread, chocolate chip banana bread and almond poppy seed bread! Clearly I have a thing for carbs ;)
