My Recipe Box - Cinnamon Raisin Quick Bread

 July 2020 from Taste of Home.

This makes two loaves.

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar, divided I reduce this
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup canola oil OR olive oil
1/2 cup raisins
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon


Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1-1/2 cups sugar, soda and salt. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in raisins. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; set aside. UPDATE I just mix this into the batter.
Spoon half the batter into 2 greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Sprinkle with half of the reserved cinnamon sugar - make less than recipe suggests; repeat layers. Cut through batter with a knife to swirl.
Bake 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
Freeze option: Wrap cooled bread in foil and freeze for up to 3 months. To use, thaw at room temperature.
