If you like cinnamon, you’ll love this quick bread! It’s crusty on top, soft and moist inside—and one of my very most-requested recipes. I always make extra loaves for the holidays and give them to family and friends. —Meryl Sheppard, Greensboro, North Carolina

I thought it turned out a little dry. The dough was very thick and sticky, not typical quick bread dough. Next time, I'll add more oil.

I have made this twice in the last 2 weeks as my family just loves this bread. I made a couple of substitutions as well. I used reduced fat vanilla yogurt for the plain yogurt and cut back to 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. I also substituted baking Splenda for the sugar. Dough was thick both times I made it too but was able to spread it into 3 layers. Tried to swirl bread the first time but was a bit messy. So didn't bother the second time No one noticed :) I love homemade bread and this one is just delicious!!

Very moist and not overly sweet. The batter was more like a dough, but still easy enough to layer with cinnamon and brown sugar mixture. I will try adding finely chopped nuts next time. It's a keeper!

Yes, the dough is very very thick. Was difficult to manage when layering it. I used whole wheat pastry dough instead of all purpose.But the outcome was great! My family of 5 finished this the day I made it. No leftovers:(Oh, and i only had strwberry banana yogurt on hand! Was nervous about that, but you couldnt even tell! Very tasty bread. Easy and simple ingredients.

The bread was all gone when I came downstairs this morning, so I think I can call it a success!That said....for a recipe from a healthy cooking magazine, this didn't strike me as very healthy! So I made a couple changes myself--I substituted about half of the AP flour with white wheat flour and I cut the sugar back to 1/2 cup. It was still plenty sweet, so I think I will cut that back by another 1-2 T. and maybe 1T off of the brown sugar.I, too, had a very thick batter. I ended up with only two layers.

rmartz1, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I suspect we're missing an ingredient. Mine is in the oven now--probably won't turn out like I had hoped. Next time I will probably scale the flour back to 1 1/2 cups and the sugar to 1/2 cup.

Anyone else have trouble with this recipe? Instead of creating a batter, it made a very sticky dough which I could not use to make layers with the brown sugar and cinnamon. It came out very dense. I cannot figure out if I did something wrong as I followed the recipe exactly.
