• Add buttermilk to wet ingredients and mix.
• Prepare cinnamon batter by mixing a portion of the batter with cinnamon and molasses.

• Bake for 45-50 minutes.
• Prepare coating by melting butter and mixing sugars and cinnamon.
• Coat cooled loaf with melted butter, then roll in sugar mixture.
• Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients & Substitutions:

• Canola oil: You can substitute vegetable oil or melted coconut oil for canola oil.
• Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by combining 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and letting it sit for a few minutes until it curdles.
• Molasses: Maple syrup or honey can be used as a substitute for molasses if desired.

How To Serve Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bread:

• Serve the cinnamon sugar donut bread warm or at room temperature.
• Enjoy it as a breakfast treat alongside your morning coffee or tea.
• Serve it as a dessert or snack, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Storing Cinnamon Bread:

• Store any leftover cinnamon bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• You can also freeze the bread for longer storage. Wrap individual slices or the whole loaf tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in a freezer-safe bag or container. Frozen cinnamon bread can be stored for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave it at room temperature or heat slices in the microwave for a quick snack.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup canola oil

• 1/4 cup softened butter

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2 eggs at room temperature

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup buttermilk or 1/2 cup milk + 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon molasses

• Coating:

• 1/2 cup melted butter

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a light-colored loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, combine canola oil, softened butter, and granulated sugar until well mixed. Add eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. Gradually add in the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) and buttermilk, mixing until a uniform batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps by scraping the sides of the bowl.
• Transfer 1/2 cup of the prepared batter into a separate smaller bowl. To this smaller portion, add cinnamon and molasses, stirring until combined.
• Pour half of the plain batter into the bottom of the loaf pan. Spoon half of the cinnamon batter in small dollops over the plain batter. Pour the remaining plain batter over the cinnamon batter. Drop the remaining cinnamon batter on top. Using a butter knife, swirl the two batters together.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
• While the loaf is baking, prepare the coating. Pour melted butter into a large shallow dish. In another shallow dish, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
• Allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes before loosening the edges and removing it from the pan. The loaf should be warm enough to handle but not too hot.
• Dip each side of the loaf into the melted butter until fully coated. Spoon any remaining melted butter over the edges for added crispiness. Transfer the buttery loaf to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and press it into the sides and top until fully coated.
• Slice the loaf into pieces and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious cinnamon swirl donut bread!
