Wet Ingredients and Toppings:
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F and coat a 9 x 5 loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
- Mix 2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1½ teaspoons cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt in a stand mixer.
- Whisk 1 cup buttermilk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 2 eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla in a separate bowl.
- Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry mixture, blending until just combined.
- Transfer batter into prepared loaf pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Stir 2 tablespoons melted butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl.

- Bake for 50-55 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted in center.
- Allow bread to rest 5 minutes in pan before moving to a wire rack.
Notes
- Check your loaf at 45 minutes to prevent over-browning, as oven temperatures can vary slightly.
- For a lighter texture, do not overmix the batter – stir just until ingredients are combined.
- Swap buttermilk with Greek yogurt or regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar if you don’t have buttermilk on hand.
- Store bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
