Say hello to my new favorite cornbread!
This jalapeno cheddar cornbread is going to be your BFF for the season, complete with crisp edges, a fluffy, cheesy interior and some tangy heat from the peppers.
Cuddle on up to some soup or chili and stay awhile!
Since it’s officially soup season, a new cornbread recipe is a must. I have tons of others, but why not make something completely different?
That’s exactly what this cornbread is. The exterior is so crisp and golden. The interior is so fluffy, cheesy and savory. It’s everything I want cornbread to be and more.
I don’t love a lot of heat, so the pickled jalapenos are perfect. You can use fresh jalapenos, but I wanted that pickle-y flavor and minimal heat. I tend to grab a mild version because I’m a large baby when it comes to spice. But you do you.
My favorite part about cornbread is that it comes together QUICK. This bakes up in 25 minutes, which is so easy. I can’t even tell you how many last minute cornbreads I decide to make with dinner. It’s my go-to because it can be whipped up fast.

How to make vegan cinnamon swirl quick bread
Find the complete recipe with measurements in the recipe card below.
Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl, then set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together until combined. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over top and stir until the wet and dry mixtures just come together. Pour half of the batter into a prepared loaf pan.
Sprinkle a thick layer of cinnamon sugar over the batter. Reserve at least 2 tablespoons for the top.
Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer. Use a spoon to carefully spread it into an even layer without stirring the cinnamon sugar layer.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining cinnamon sugar. Use a butter knife to make a swirl pattern in the loaf.
Tip: Do not over-swirl the batter or else you’ll miss out on the pretty cinnamon ribbon inside of the bread. One run-through with the knife should be all it takes.
Bake the cinnamon bread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set it aside to cool.
Whisk the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl, then drizzle it over the completely cooled bread. Let it set for 20 minutes, then slice and serve.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be made gluten-free?
I haven’t tried making this recipe with any flour alternatives but a quality gluten-free flour may work in place of the all-purpose flour. Let me know if you try it!
Can I use this recipe to make cinnamon sugar muffins?
Absolutely. Make the batter as normal, layer it in a lined standard muffin tin with the cinnamon sugar, swirl with a knife, and bake at 350ºF for 20 to 24 minutes.
How do you store leftover vegan cinnamon bread?
I recommend eating the bread within 1 or 2 days because the cinnamon sugar will make it soggy over time. If you do plan on saving the leftovers, skip the vanilla glaze on top and wrap the bread or individual slices in plastic wrap and keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Is it freezer-friendly?
You should be able to freeze the cinnamon bread without the glaze for up to 3 months. Wrap the loaf or individual slices in plastic wrap to maintain freshness.

Prepare – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a standard metal loaf pan (9×5 inches or 8 1/2x 4 1/2) with parchment paper for easy removal later.
Cinnamon sugar – In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.
Bread – In a large bowl, whisk the soy milk, lemon juice, sugar, melted vegan butter and vanilla until well combined. Now add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix with a large spoon until just combined, being careful not to over mix.
Pour in pan with cinnamon swirl – Pour/spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar for the top of the bread, and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar over the top of the batter in the pan. Spoon or pour the rest of the batter on top of the cinnamon sugar layer. Carefully spread it out the best you can without stirring the cinnamon sugar layer. Sprinkle the top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar. Using a butter knife, make a large swirl in the loaf. Avoid swirling too much or you won't get that pretty cinnamon swirl throughout the bread.
Bake – Place in the center rack of the oven and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean with no wet batter.
Cool – Cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan using the parchment paper. Transfer to a cooling rack with parchment paper below (to catch the glaze drippings).
Glaze – In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, cream and vanilla together until smooth. Drizzle the bread with the glaze and allow to set for 20 minutes or so if possible. Slice and serve.
Notes
The glaze is optional, you can leave it out for a less sweet bread.
For gluten free, you can substitute a quality gluten free flour.

Caramel apple cinnamon rolls are everything you love about crisp autumn nights at the carnival – in breakfast form. Imagine waking the whole family up to these gorgeous sweet rolls!
Fall, fall, fall! It’s finally fall, though Ohio can’t seem to decide between crisp fall weather or hot late-summer weather.
I can’t even with that, so I’m ignoring it entirely and focusing on my favorite fall flavors instead.
Like these caramel apple cinnamon rolls. I first made these when Elle was a toddler, and she was a BIG fan. She loved picking out the sweet, soft baked apple pieces and eating them first.
If you love getting a sweet, sticky caramel apple or a hot caramel apple cider at the fall carnival as much as I do, these caramel apple cinnamon rolls are a MUST for breakfast this weekend!
Yes, you read that right! Make the easiest quick bread of your life with this 2-ingredient pumpkin bread recipe. Kids and adults alike will love making this cozy fall bread.
Every once in a while I come across a recipe that is so easy I feel almost silly sharing it.
But every time, you guys prove me wrong. Sure, there are plenty of you who prefer from-scratch recipes. And I have tons and tons of those!
But there are also a bunch of you who love these super easy shortcut recipes. They’re great for kids or beginner bakers or for anyone who is short on time but needs to whip up something fast.
This 2-ingredient pumpkin bread is definitely one of those recipes. It is one of the easiest recipes you can make, and it’s a great trick to have up your sleeve this fall!

We love this chocolate glazed banana bread! Our favorite banana bread recipe made with plain greek yogurt, baked until tender and then drenched in a rich chocolate glaze. Tastes like a treat!
Your weekend treat is here!
This is our favorite banana bread made with plain greek yogurt or sour cream and drenched in a crackly chocolate glaze.
If you love chocolate chips IN your banana bread, now is the time to try this glaze!
It’s rich and decadent and adds an extra layer of fun to the classic.
Nothing quite screams “banana bread!” like the beginning of school does. It’s a snack I love to have on hand during these hectic times because it’s versatile. And it’s perfect in so many ways, whether it’s breakfast, eaten as a snack after school or when you want something sweet after dinner.
It’s also satisfying and a little snack that will stick for a bit!
My family loves this banana bread so much that I always make two loaves at a time. It’s a must! If I make one loaf, it will disappear within the hour. And it’s everyone’s fault. We just can’t get enough.
This banana bread is superb because of one special ingredient: sour cream. Or plain greek yogurt! I use both interchangeably and they add a level of moisture and tenderness that you can’t get otherwise.
They also up the satiety factor of the bread and that is key!
I also love this recipe because it only uses two bananas. No need for a whole bushel.
There is something wonderful about this glaze. It reminds me of my grandma’s texas sheet cake glaze – the classic rich chocolate glaze that crackles and remains creamy with just a slight hint of texture.
It’s super delicious.
I wait until the banana bread is fully cooled, then I pour on the glaze. It needs about 20 minutes or so to set, and once that is done, it’s all yours.
The glaze makes the bread feel extra special and more like a treat. Which is this house, is always welcome! (more…)

Making Breakfast Bread Pudding might sound complicated, but in reality, it couldn’t be easier, especially if you prep it the night before! It’s super delicious with bites of sweet apples and raisins and the warmth of cinnamon and vanilla.
Flavorful: This breakfast bread pudding recipe is sweet (but not too sweet), made with bite-sized chunks of apples, raisins and a dash of cinnamon and vanilla extract. It’s so delicious and comforting. You could even serve it for dessert. If you’re looking for a more savory breakfast bread pudding, try my Breakfast Casserole recipe!
Make Ahead: The key to this dish being even easier is preparing it ahead of time. I’m a big fan of recipes like this. Just like my Refrigerator Oatmeal and Chia Seed Pudding the prep is so simple, and as you already know, I’d prefer to cook the night before than in the morning! It freezes super beautifully too. Just make sure you do it before baking.
Great for a Crowd: I love dishes like this one because you can serve it to a crowd easily. It’s the perfect recipe for holidays like Thanksgiving when you have a lot of cooking on the horizon but a crew that still needs breakfast before the big event.
The Ingredients
Large eggs: Eggs give your bread pudding that custardy texture while holding everything together.
Milk: A bit of milk adds moisture to the dish.
Honey, Vanilla and Cinnamon: These ingredients add a touch of sweetness and overall warmth to the bread pudding making it irresistibly delicious.
Small apples: We like to use Gala, Fiju or Golden Delicious apples for this recipe, but any apple you love will work. Cut them into small pieces for a pop of sweet apple in every bite.
Raisins: I like to add raisins for chewiness and more natural sweetness.
Bread of Choice: Fresh or stale 1 inch chunks of bread will work here, so feel free to use that loaf of bread that you weren’t sure what to do with! Whether it’s challah, multigrain, french or brioche, it will be delicious.
*For a full list of ingredients and instructions, see the recipe card below.
Variations and Substitutions
Milk Swap: Any type of milk will work in this breakfast bread pudding recipe so feel free to use plant-based milk if that’s what you prefer.
Bread: I’ve made this recipe with challah bread, multigrain sandwich bread, whole wheat and even a french loaf and they all turned out perfectly. Feel free to experiment!
Dried Fruits: You could substitute any dried fruit in place of the raisins. Or, make this even more decadent and add some chocolate chips!
How to Make Breakfast Bread Pudding
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whisk the eggs, milk, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
Step 2: Stir in the apples, raisins and bread cubes. Using your hands or a rubber spatula, combine the ingredients to make sure everything is evenly coated.
Step 3: Transfer the mixture to a greased or parchment lined 8-inch baking dish pressing down lightly. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
Step 4: Bake for 30 minutes covered. Uncover and continue to cook for an additional 20 minutes. Bake until golden and cooked through.
