04Apr2014Sunrise Cinnamon Bread (makes 2 loaves from 1 cake mix!)10.3K111 Two quick breads swirled with sweet cinnamon sugar, all from one yellow cake mix! The mornings are always my most productive time of the day. I used to love sleeping in, but I haven’t seem to be able to for the past… oh… 5 years. Not that Paul hasn’t given me the opportunity to, occasionally. My internal clock winds up waking me up at just around normal time. Although, I should say the mornings USED to be my most productive time. I suppose, it depends on what I consider “productive.” By the time I settle down with my laptop and hot coffee, this is the usual turn of events: 1. Wesley wakes up and is adorable, so I let him snuggle next to me. 2. Wesley wants to watch a show. 3. It takes approximately 20 minutes of him saying “go over” as I scroll through the kid shows on Netflix. 4. Wesley chooses Thomas Misty Island Rescue, as I knew he would. 5. I figure I should change his diaper before he pees on me. 6. 2nd sip of my lukewarm coffee. 7. Silas comes down the stairs. 8. Silas can’t find his Mario blanket, so I go looking. 9. Wesley wants his own blanket, so I make him go get it so I can 10. Take a 3rd sip of my cold coffee. Productive? Yes, I would say so. Getting stuff done? Not really. At least they’re “Good morning, Mommy”s and early morning snuggles make up for it, right? š These Sunrise Cinnamon Breads are perfect if you’re super crazy in the mornings like I am. Two breads from one cake mix, my kind of recipe! Make one and freeze the other, or better yet, give the 2nd one away to a neighbor who might need a little “sunrise” to their morning. Another frazzled mommy with a cold cup of coffee in her hand, perhaps? š Sunrise Cinnamon Bread 15 oz box yellow cake mix 3/4 cup oil 3/4 cup water 4 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons cinnamon In a large mixing bowl, beat together cake mix, oil, water, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Evenly divide half of the batter between two greased loaf pans. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon together. Evenly divide 1/3 cup of the cinnamon sugar mixture between the two loaf pans, sprinkling it over the batter. Pour remaining batter into each loaf pan. Sprinkle remaining topping evenly over both pans. With a butter knife, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter in both pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Cool completely before serving. My kids went nuts for this too, so if you’re really desperate for a quiet morning, give them a slice of this at the table and sit down to peruse Facebook in peace. Not that I did that or anything. š Here are some more of my favorite bread recipes: Bisquick Banana Nut Bread Secret Ingredient Chocolate Banana Bread Apple Streusel Bread Don’t miss another Mostly Homemade Mom recipe!
