Cinnamon Toast Crunch Loaf

Step 1: Prepare the Pan [00:00]

Prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly coating it with butter or nonstick spray. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients [00:20]

Place the melted butter and granulated sugar into a mixing bowl and stir until smooth and glossy. Mix in the egg, followed by the vanilla extract. Add the Greek yogurt and continue stirring until the mixture is fully blended.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients [00:50]

Add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Slowly pour in the milk while mixing, stirring only until no dry streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4: Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Layer [01:20]

For the cinnamon layer, stir together the sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a separate small bowl until evenly combined.

Step 5: Layer the Batter [01:50]

Transfer half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it into an even layer. Scatter part of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top. Spoon in the remaining batter and gently spread it out, then finish by sprinkling the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture across the surface.

Step 6: Bake [02:30]

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 7: Cool the Loaf [03:10]

Allow the loaf to cool in the pan before removing.

Step 8: Make the Icing [03:30]

To make the icing, combine powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, adding a little more milk if needed for a pourable consistency. Drizzle over the cooled loaf before slicing.
