Organic Palm Sugar Cinnamon Bread

Organic Palm Sugar Cinnamon Bread is a subtly spiced, lovely treat with notes of caramel. It’s fantastic with coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon and really, any time in between.

What does palm sugar taste like?

Close your eyes, sprinkle your tongue with it, and it’s melting caramel.

Or wait, is it butterscotch? 

Maybe it could be sweet, brown butter?

Remember when I introduced you to the Pepper Project? I raved about their Kampot Pepper when we made Pepper Seared Ahi Tuna? Well now I’m raving about their Organic Palm Sugar!

With Kampot Pepper now always stocked in my pantry, I’ve been really wanting to try the Organic Palm Sugar from Pepper Project.

What is Palm Sugar?

Palm sugar is a sweetener derived from palm trees.

Sugars from different palms usually have subtly different compositions, though they’re all processed similarly and can be used interchangeably.

I love the texture and color — it’s incredibly fine and soft.

What’s in Palm Sugar Cinnamon Bread?

• all-purpose flour
• cinnamon
• baking soda, baking powder
• grapeseed oil
• palm sugar
• salt
• yogurt
• milk
• egg
• vanilla

Organic Palm Sugar Cinnamon Bread highlights the wonderful caramel-like flavor of the sugar, and the cinnamon compliments the sugar without overpowering it. 

You can almost taste the flavors separately, in each bite of this super moist, melt-in-your-mouth treat.

How to serve Palm Sugar Cinnamon Bread 

A mid-day snack, and after dinner dessert, or — my favorite — breakfast, with a perfect cup of coffee.

As dessert, it’s especially delicious when warmed, with a scoop (or two!) of vanilla bean ice cream on top.

The non profit Pepper Project was started by couple Cris Peterson and Tom Gordon – and they make up the entire staff, running the entire enterprise.  Pepper Project is devoted to introducing products of Cambodia to the United State — (primarily pepper, but also beautiful, handcrafted gifts, coffee, sugar and more).  100% of the proceeds from sales goes to support fair trade for farmers and to organizations that protect street children, disabled children and victims of sex trafficking.

Makes 1 (9-inch) loaf

Author: Valentina K. Wein

Ingredients

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour sifted
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅓ cup grapeseed oil
• 1 cup Organic Palm Sugar, packed
• ¾ cup plain yogurt (non, low or whole fat - up to you)
• ½ cup milk (non, low or whole fat - up to you)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350°F, and adjust a rack to the center.

2. Line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. You should use a large piece that will cover the sides and cut slits in each corner so that it will lay flat everywhere. (You can also grease and lightly flour the pan, but I find that the parchment makes removing the bread much easier.)

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
4. In medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the oil with the sugar, yogurt, milk, egg and vanilla.
5. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in the wet mixture. Use a large mixing spoon to gently blend everything together. Only mix until all of the ingredients are incorporated and there are no dry spots of flour.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake it in the preheated 350°F oven until it's golden brown on top and is beginning to crack a bit, about 30 minutes.

7. You should also insert a wooden skewer into the center of the bread -- if it comes out clean, it's ready.
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan for about 15 minutes.

Recipe Notes

While I'm featuring Organic Palm Sugar and love the flavor it adds to this recipe -- this bread would still work well with another sugar (golden brown sugar would be my 2nd choice.)
