Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, combine milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined (don’t overmix).
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and spread evenly.
- For the topping: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle melted butter over the batter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To prevent dense bread, avoid overmixing the batter.
Experiment with add-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or swirls of the cinnamon mixture for variation.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
