Cinnamon Donut Bread
This moist and tender loaf brings all the nostalgic flavors of a cinnamon sugar donut, with none of the deep frying. A sugary cinnamon topping finishes it off just right.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for topping
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the milk, mixing until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
This bread tastes just like a cinnamon donut in loaf form—crusty sugar top and all! For an extra indulgent touch, brush with melted butter right out of the oven before adding more cinnamon sugar.
