Description
Cinnamon Donut Bread is a soft, buttery loaf dusted in sweet cinnamon sugar, delivering the classic taste of a cinnamon donut in every moist, tender slice. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon coffee break!
Ingredients
For the Bread:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup buttermilk
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir in buttermilk until combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
While baking, combine sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Melt butter separately.
Let baked bread cool 10 minutes in the pan, then remove to a wire rack. Brush melted butter over the loaf. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar evenly over the top.
Allow bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
Line your pan with parchment for easy removal.
Warm individual slices in the microwave for 10 seconds to enjoy that fresh-baked taste.
