The making of the muffinsYum

My work time is so limited now because of the precious houseful of additional kids God has given us. Therefore, it has been a very long time since I created new recipes to share with you. That is why, when I was staging our Holiday Spice Muffins to take a picture to share with you, all the kids gathered around to get in the picture. Why take a boring ol’ photo of muffins when obviously, everyone wants to see a picture of the babies!!

Next, I managed to take this picture of the bread, but meh. It would have been sweeter with a sweetheart in the frame.

Either way, WELCOME to the very first day of our 2024 Christmas Brunch! The first recipe to be shared is this perfectly sweetened, lovely and moist Holiday Spice Muffin and Quick Bread recipe.

Turn this recipe into 18 muffins or two medium-sized loaves of bread. It’s a lovely side to go with tomorrow’s Christmas Casserole recipe!

It would appear that there is a theme this week in the Stir-and-Pour Bread category. First, a Stir-and-Pour Pizza Crust, now a Stir and Pour Cinnamon Swirl Bread. Hey, I’m just trying to make your lives easier, one recipe at a time.

Stir and Pour Cinnamon Bread Recipe
Or in this case I guess I would have to say that it’s the same recipe over and over made with a few variations. This in and of itself keeps life easy because after a while, you’ll have the basic recipe memorized and the variations will come naturally.

So let’s review.Yum

Get to know this basic and incredibly easy Stir-and-Pour Sandwich Bread recipe. That recipe has forever changed my bread-making life and I will never (probably) knead bread again. Why would I when I can just stir and pour – then take a nap?

With this basic recipe, we’ve learned that we can make Stir-and-Pour Rolls and Stir-and-Pour Pizza Crust. Today we learn that we can make Stir-and-Pour Cinnamon Swirl Bread. If you want, you can add raisins to make Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Or you can add dried cranberries to make Cinnamon Cranberry Bread. Or you can add dried apples to make Cinnamon Apple Bread. Or you can add nuts to make Cinnamon Nut Bread.

Or you can add all of the above to make Cinnamon Apple Raisin Cranberry Nut Bread.

How happy are all of us right now that this recipe offers so many wonderful possibilities? We are all so, so happy.

You might notice that since originally posting the basic recipe, I have ditched the optional cream and egg. They are optional, after all. I’ve found after making the recipe so many times that the egg and cream didn’t make much difference so I skip those steps which cuts out a good 32 seconds in bread making time. Every 32 seconds counts.
