Learn how to make delicious Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bread. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup whole milk (or substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free option)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top.
Sprinkle the top with the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating for that perfect crunchy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma at this point will remind you of cozy family gatherings, much like those I enjoyed with my own family.
Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
