Cinnamon Donut Bread

Cinnamon donut bread is a warm, sweet hug in loaf form. Soft, moist, and dusted with buttery cinnamon sugar — it’s everything you love about donuts, made easy in your oven. 🍩✨

Ingredients

For the bread:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup buttermilk

For the cinnamon-sugar topping:

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep your pan and oven:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan generously.
Mix dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Blend wet ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the buttermilk until smooth.
Combine and stir:
Add the dry ingredients to the wet in batches. Stir until just combined — don’t overmix to keep the loaf tender!
Bake it up:
Pour into your loaf pan and bake for 45–50 minutes. Use the toothpick test to check doneness.
Cinnamon-sugar magic:
While baking, stir cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Melt butter separately.
Coat and cool:
Let bread cool 10 minutes in the pan. Then remove, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly.
Serve with love:
Slice and enjoy once fully cooled! Perfect with a cozy drink ☕🍞
