How to Make Cinnamon Donut Bread
Make the Cinnamon Donut Bread
Preheat the oven to 350Β°F
Grease a loaf pan with your favorite cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix oil, butter, and sugar until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth. Gently add in dry ingredients and buttermilk until a nice smooth batter has formed.
Add 1/2 cup of the batter and place it into a separate smaller bowl. To that small amount of batter, stir in cinnamon and molasses.
Pour half of the batter into the bottom of the loaf pan. Spoon half of the cinnamon batter in small dollops over the batter. Pour the remaining plain batter over the top. Put the remaining cinnamon batter on top of the regular batter.
Using a butter knife, swirl two batters together. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
