How to Make Cinnamon Donut Bread
Make the Cinnamon Donut Bread
Preheat the oven to 350°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.
