Cinnamon Quick Bread

BREAD

1 C. whole-wheat flour

1 C. unbleached all-purpose flour

3/4 C. sugar

4 t. baking powder

2 t. ground cinnamon

1/2 t. salt

1 C. milk

3 T. canola oil

1 T. vanilla extract

1 egg plus 2 egg whites

STREUSEL

2 T. brown sugar

1 1/2 t. ground cinnamon

2 t. butter, softened

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, place the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, milk, oil, vanilla and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes at medium speed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

In a small bowl, combine the streusel ingredients and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over the batter and swirl slightly to marble. Bake for about 55 minutes, or until a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack, then remove from the pan to finish cooling on the rack.

Makes 1 loaf (16 slices).
