A quick bread is a type of bread which uses raising agents such as baking powder or bicarbonate of soda instead of yeast. Examples of quick bread include banana bread, corn bread, muffins, scones, etc.
Generally, quick breads contain plain flour, baking powder and/or bicarbonate of soda, eggs, butter / margarine / oil and milk / buttermilk.
If you like cinnamon, I would encourage you to try the recipe in this post. The insides of the cinnamon loaf are moist whereas the top of the cinnamon loaf is fragrant and crumbly. For maximum enjoyment of the cinnamon loaf, do slice the loaf thickly (that is, thicker than what you see in the photographs in this post) and spread a generous amount of butter or margarine on a warm slice of the cinnamon loaf. Bon appetit!
INGREDIENTS2 cups plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup butter (softened)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
1 tsp vanilla essence
zest of 1 lemon
1 cup low fat milk
