Cinnamon Swirl Doughnut Bread

Lately, I feel as if my sweets cravings has gotten out of control. I crave them all the time and cave in often.  I think about giving up added sugar for a month sometimes, but then I find recipes like this and that thought goes right out the window.

Being a doughnut bread, this is more like a cake than a bread. It resembles a cake in taste and a bread in looks. I ate it for breakfast and enjoyed every bite.

 

The only downside to this bread is how messy it got coating the whole thing in cinnamon sugar. My hands were covered in butter and cinnamon and sugar, the counter had its fair share as well. But it was all worth it in the end.

Cinnamon Swirl Doughnut Bread

Ingredients:

Doughnut Bread

• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon molasses

Coating

• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Spray a 8x4 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, add in the oil, butter and sugar, stir until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla and stir until smooth.
3. Add in the flour, baking powder and buttermilk, gently stir until no lumps remain. Remove 1/2 cup of the batter and place into a small bowl.
4. To the small bowl, stir in the cinnamon and molasses.
5. Pour half of the plain batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the cinnamon batter in small dollops over the plain batter. Pour the remaining plain batter over top and spoon small dollops of the remaining cinnamon batter over top. Using a knife gently swirl the two batters together.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
7. While the loaf bakes, pour the melted butter into a large shallow dish, big enough to fit the entire loaf of bread. In a separate large shallow dish stir together both sugars and cinnamon.
8. Once the loaf is done baking, allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife along the edges and remove the loaf from the pan.
9. Dip each side of the loaf into the melted butter. Spoon the butter over the top of the loaf to coat the top and get the crispy edges of the loaf. Place the loaf into the cinnamon sugar mixture and press to coat both sides and the top.

Enjoy!!!
