Homemade Cinnamon Raisin Bread with Brown Sugar Crumble Topping and a Sweet Glaze Drizzle

I think that I may have shared this before, but I don’t particularly like raisins. When I think about raisins, I think of the book Julius, the Baby of the World by Kevin Henkes. In the book, Lilly (from Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse) is upset about her new baby brother. She says, “If he was a number, he would be zero. If he was a food, he would be a raisin. Zero is nothing. A raisin tastes like dirt. The end.”

This isn’t really the way to start talking about a recipe, right? Here’s the thing – sometimes when there’s a recipe that has raisins and cinnamon, then I suddenly actually like what raisins bring to the recipe. I love a warm bowl of cinnamon raisin oatmeal. It makes me think of when I was little. Yum.

So, this Homemade Cinnamon Raisin Bread with a brown sugar and cinnamon crumble plus a sweet glaze makes raisins a win in my book.

Sorry, Lilly.

  • 1/4 cup of softened butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup of light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour (Do not pack the flour into the measuring cup. Just spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off.)
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup of raisins
  • 1 tablespoon of cinnamon

Homemade Cinnamon Bread Recipe Directions

Directions for Homemade Cinnamon Raisin Bread

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While your oven is warming, prepare a 9×5 loaf pan with a non-stick baking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and spray the paper for easier removal.

2. In a small bowl full of boiling water, soak the raisins for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes drain the water and set the raisins on a towel to dry.

3. In another small bowl, mix together the light brown sugar and cinnamon. Take a spoonful of the brown sugar mixture and stir it together with the raisins. Set aside.

4. In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

5. In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar and butter until it’s light and fluffy.

6. Add the egg to the sugar and butter mixture and mix just until combined.

7. Slowly add the flour mixture into the large bowl, alternating with the milk, and mix just until everything is combined. Do not over mix the batter.

8. Gently fold in the raisins.

9. Spread half of the cinnamon raisin bread batter along the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top of the batter. Then pour the remaining batter on top and spread to the edge. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture over the top of the bread batter. (This process is shown in the picture above.)

10. Bake the cinnamon raisin bread for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

11. Cool for 10 minutes before moving the bread to a cooling rack. Cool for about an hour before icing.

Only do step 12 after your cinnamon raisin bread has fully cooled.

12. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar from the glaze portion of the ingredients and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Keep adding 1 tablespoon of heavy cream at a time until you get to your desired consistency for the glaze. Drizzle the glaze all over the bread.

13. Cut and serve! Store leftovers covered at room temperature.

    I am going to try this but I have to say the list of ingredients is so confusing, you really have to hunt through every ingredient to match them to the instructions. Wish me luck!
