Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Combine the Batter
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5: Fill the Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool Slightly
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack.
Step 8: Add the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
Brush the warm loaf all over with the melted butter. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon, then generously sprinkle or roll the loaf in the cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.
Step 9: Slice and Serve
Let the coating set for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with coffee, tea, or a cold glass of milk.
Tips
- Add ½ cup cinnamon chips or white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
- For a richer flavor, substitute buttermilk for regular milk.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Freeze individual slices for up to 3 months. Simply thaw and warm before serving for a fresh-from-the-oven taste.
