Ingredients

For the Bread:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup whole milk

2 large eggs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Optionally, line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping: While the bread is still warm, brush the top with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it generously over the bread. Press the mixture gently into the surface for better adhesion.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the bread and serve it warm or at room temperature for the ultimate cinnamon donut experience.
