Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Bread
    • 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)

    For the Topping

    • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
    • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, whole milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
  • Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix.
  • Prepare the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  • Make the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the batter.
  • Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve: Slice and enjoy your Cinnamon Donut Bread as a cozy treat or delightful breakfast.

Notes

  • Make It Dairy-Free: Substitute the butter with dairy-free margarine or coconut oil, and use a plant-based milk like almond milk.
  • Add-Ins: Add some chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for an extra touch of flavor.
  • Store: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle with icing or serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
