Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4: Bring Batter Together
Gradually stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

Step 5: Transfer to Pan
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and gently smooth the surface.

Step 6: Bake the Bread
Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.

Step 7: Top with Cinnamon Sugar
While the bread is baking, prepare the topping by mixing sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Once the loaf is done and still warm, brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over it.

Step 8: Cool and Slice
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to finish cooling. Slice and enjoy!
