3 ingredient cinnamon swirl bread loaf is made with canned cinnamon rolls and a sweet, tangy lemon and cranberry glaze. This easy Christmas bread recipe is sure to add some happy to your holidays!
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Set out a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray, then line it with a 9-inch strip of parchment paper that goes across the bottom and over the long edges.
Pop open the can of cinnamon rolls. Remove the glaze for later use. Carefully pull the entire roll out of the can in one piece. Place it in the loaf pan, seam side down, and gently pull it apart at the perforated edges to fill out the length of the pan.
Place the loaf pan on the center rack and bake for 40 minutes. If it starts getting too dark on top, loosely cover with a piece of foil.
Meanwhile, mix the cinnamon roll glaze with the chopped dried cranberries and lemons zest.
Once the bread comes out of the oven, lift it out of the pan by the edges of the paper, and set on a baking rack. Drizzle or spoon the cranberry lemon glaze over the top of the loaf.
Once the glaze cools (and sets) you can cut and serve the loaf.
Notes
Not a fan of cranberries? Skip the cranberries and lemon zest, and add in toffee chips instead.
