How to make Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bread

Ingredients:

For the Bread:

1/4 c. unsalted butter

1/4 c. vegetable oil

1 c. granulated sugar

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 c. fresh buttermilk

1/2 teaspoon dark molasses

For the Coating:

1/2 c. unsalted butter, melted

1/4 c. granulated sugar

1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Give it some time to warm up just like we do in the morning.

In a bowl combine the vegetable oil, unsalted butter and sugar until they are well mixed.

Next crack the eggs. Add the vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until it becomes smooth.

Now it’s time to incorporate the ingredients and buttermilk. Take it slow as you stir and admire how everything comes together.

Here’s our little secret; Take 1/2 cup of the batter you’ve been working on and mix it with cinnamon and molasses in a bowl.

Prepare your loaf pan by spraying it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Let’s start layering; Begin by spooning half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Then add half of the cinnamon molasses mixture on top. Repeat this process with the remaining batter and cinnamon molasses mixture.

Here’s how you can create an effect; Take a butter knife and gently swirl the batters together.

Next it’s time to bake! Place your loaf pan into the oven. Patiently let it bake for approximately 45 50 minutes.

Once its done baking allow your lovely bread to cool down in the loaf pan for, around 10 minutes. This will help it set perfectly.

Afterward melt some butter. Use a brush to coat the entire loaf. Sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar over making sure to cover every side, including the bottom!

Finally the best part has arrived. Dig in and savor every bite of your delicious Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bread! Enjoy!

Notes:

To make the Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bread recipe gluten free you’ll need to make some adjustments:

Substituting All Purpose Flour: Instead of regular all purpose flour use a gluten free flour blend. Make sure the blend includes xanthan gum, which helps mimic glutens elasticity and gives the bread a texture. If you have chosen a blend that doesn’t contain xanthan gum add 1/4 teaspoon of it per cup of flour.

Check Ingredients: While the remaining ingredients, in this recipe are gluten free it’s crucial to check their labels. Some brands may process their products in facilities that also handle gluten, which can lead to cross contamination.

Buttermilk: Generally buttermilk is gluten free. However certain flavored or thickened variations might contain gluten. Therefore always verify by checking the label.

Cooking Spray: Most cooking sprays are free from gluten. Nonetheless it’s wise to examine the labels for any concealed sources of gluten.
