Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour into dry ingredients.
  4. Gently fold wet and dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  6. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together until well combined.
  7. Drizzle the spiced sugar mixture over the top of the batter, swirling gently into the mixture.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice with a serrated knife and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Using a room temperature egg can result in better batter blending for a fluffier bread. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light and airy.
