Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter (cooled)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly to ensure the bread releases easily after baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the whole milk and cooled melted butter until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Mix wet and dry: Slowly pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- Prepare for baking: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar over the top to enhance the cinnamon donut flavor and create a sweet crust.
- Bake the bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked through.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure better incorporation and texture of the batter.
- Cooling the melted butter avoids cooking the eggs when mixing.
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
