Cinnamon Sugar Quick Bread
Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups flour
1 Tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt and 1 cup sugar in large bowl. Add egg, milk, and oil to flour mixture. Stir until just moistened.
Pour half of the batter into loaf pan.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture (1/3 cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon). You can either put all of it on here or save a little bit for sprinkling on top before baking.
Cover with remaining batter. (Then sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar mixture if you saved some.)
Bake 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
Note: It is recommended that you wrap it in foil and let sit overnight before slicing, but you don't have to. I just had it cool and wrapped for about an hour before everyone woke up and it cut just fine. Some people even cut without wrapping it in foil at all.
When I made it I think I used a loaf pan smaller than a 9x5 (not sure what size it was) so it took the whole 50 minutes. Be sure to check it at 45 just in case my loaf pan was smaller than yours. I did reserve some for on top. It looks a little ugly but tastes good.
When I make this again I am going to try using pumpkin (or applesauce) instead of oil and some sort of artificial sweetener to replace the sugar in the batter (not the sugar in the filling). If it is good it will cut the calories pretty much in half. It will obviously also majorly cut carbs, sugars, and fat.

UPDATE: I made it as described above to be healthier, and it is awesome. I used 1 cup splenda in the batter and 1/3 cup pumpkin. If you do this be sure to check the bread early. I checked mine at 40 minutes, and it was done.
