Cinnamon Bread With Cream Cheese Icing

Not your average bread.

I yearned for warm cinnamon goodness. Cinnamon rolls would have been perfect, but there wasn't any more active yeast packets on hand. Simply out of the question. Although I'm quite certain vegans have other ways to make cinnamon rolls rise without yeast right? I haven't even attempted yet.
Cinnamon doughnuts for today's food based holiday- National Doughnut Day would have also been a great dessert. But alas no.
Since I had my lovely new bread pan to have fun times with- a little loaf of cinnamon bread sounded amazing. No raisins. No shredded carrots or other terrific veggie pairings joined with my favorite spice. Just hot, warm cinnamon bread covered in a captivating cream cheese icing. Almost tasted like a cinnamon roll. Almost.
Moist and soft, every knife full is heaven.
Yum. Yum. Yum.
Pleasant treat alongside a mug of almond milk or hot green tea.
