Instructions

How to Make Delicious Homemade Fluffy Cinnamon Donut Bread

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, blend canola oil, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 3-4 minutes.
  • Gradually incorporate the large eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Alternate between adding the sifted dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • Mix a reserved portion of the batter with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and molasses to create the cinnamon swirl.
  • Pour half of the plain batter into the greased loaf pan, add dollops of the cinnamon swirl mixture, then pour the remaining batter over it.
  • Swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect.
  • Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Once slightly cooled, dip your loaf in melted unsalted butter then coat with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Allow to cool completely on a wire rack, then slice and serve.

Notes

Serve with a cup of coffee or tea for a perfect pairing.
