Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups Greek yogurt (0%)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 3/4 cups self-rising flour
- Cooking spray
- For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- For the Glaze:
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper and cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Sift flour over a large bowl. Add to the bowl with liquids and stir gently with spatula until just combined. The dough should be thick and sticky but spreadable.
- In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar and cinnamon.
- In the prepared loaf pan, spread 1/3 of the batter in a layer. Sprinkle 1/2 of cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Add 1/3 of dough in dollops and spread a bit. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 of cinnamon sugar mixture, finishing by the remaining 1/3 of dough.
- Run a butter knife through the dough in a loaf pan lengthwise 2-3 times.
- Bake bread for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. While bread is cooling, make the glaze by whisking Greek yogurt and powdered sugar together. Spread on top of warm bread and let it cool another 15 minutes.
- Using a serrated knife, cut into 10 slices and enjoy warm or cold.
Notes
- Store: Keep in a cool dry place in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. After, because of the glaze, refrigerate for another 3-4 days.
- Freeze: Bake, glaze and cool completely. Place in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw on a counter for 1-2 hours.
- Self-rising flour substitute*: You can replace self-rising flour with 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
