Old-Fashioned Spiced Donut Bread | Simple Pantry Recipe From The Biblical Homestead Kitchen

There’s something special about the warm scent of nutmeg and cinnamon drifting through a kitchen on a cold day. Today I’m making an old-fashioned spiced donut bread, a tender, sweet quick bread that tastes just like a classic deep-fried donut, but without the fuss of frying.

This is one of those simple, dependable recipes made with everyday pantry ingredients. No special equipment, no fancy steps: just stir, bake, and enjoy. You can spice it with nutmeg for that true old-time donut flavor, or cinnamon for a warmer twist. Either way, it bakes up soft, fragrant, and perfect with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa.

Recipes like this remind us that good food doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. A slice on a plate can feel just as comforting as a trip to the donut shop.....and a whole lot easier on the grocery budget, too.

I hope this bread brings a little warmth and sweetness into your home today.

Thanks for spending a little time with me in the kitchen. 💛
