Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Begin your Cinnamon Donut Bread by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your loaf pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry components: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add in the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and optional almond extract.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
- Mix together the packed brown sugar with the tablespoon of ground cinnamon for the topping.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture on top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
Notes
Be careful not to overmix the batter; this ensures a light and fluffy bread. If you prefer a richer flavor, allow the bread to sit for a day before slicing.
