Amish Cinnamon Bread

Amish Cinnamon Bread is a very quick and easy bread made with a few ingredients!

EQUIPMENT

  • Stand mixer or large mixing bowl with whisk/mixing spoon

  • Non-stick spray or tin foil

  • Loaf pans

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup butter, softened

  • 2 cups sugar, plus 1/3 cup of sugar for the cinnamon swirl

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 Tablespoons vanilla extract

  • 2 cups buttermilk

  • 4 cups flour

  • 2 Teaspoons baking soda

  • 2 Teaspoons ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray bread pans with non-stick spray or line with tinfoil.

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy.

  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Combine until mixed well, scraping down the sides as needed.

  • Add the flour, buttermilk, and baking soda slowly as the mixer spins so as not to spread flour everywhere.

  • Pour 1/4 of the batter into 2 bread pans.

  • Mix the 1/3 cup of sugar with the 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.

  • Sprinkle 1/4 of the mixture on top of the batter in the bread pans.

  • Divide the remaining batter between the two bread pans and top with remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.

  • Use a toothpick or knife to create swirls on the top.

  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.

  • Allow the bread to rest on a cooling sheet in the bread pans for about 20 minutes.

  • Remove the bread from the pan and allow to cool fully.
