This bread is fabulous!
It’s perfectly moist, soft, and has just a tad of sweetness swirled in. This recipe is based on the Pioneer Women’s Cinnamon Raisin Bread recipe. I read through a few recipes on Pinterest, and just like most recipes, I end up changing them to fit our dietary needs. I wanted to make a healthier version and use ingredients I already have.
This is the best Cinnamon Raisin Bread I have ever had! Plus, it was so simple that my 4 year old made it. Well, with a little help from me of course.
