Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar, let sit for 5 minutes)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

  • ¼ cup melted butter (for brushing)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  • Prepare Wet Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract.

  • Combine Batter:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  • Bake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Let Cool:
    Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
    Brush the warm bread with melted butter. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle it generously over the top of the bread. For extra sweetness, you can roll individual slices in cinnamon sugar before serving.

  • Serve & Enjoy!
    Slice and enjoy with coffee, tea, or warm milk!

Notes

  • For a fun twist, you can add some chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) to the batter before baking.
  • The bread keeps well for a few days in an airtight container and can also be frozen for longer storage.
