Description

Experience the warm, comforting flavors of Amish Cinnamon Bread, a moist and tender quick bread featuring a luscious cinnamon-sugar swirl baked into a buttermilk-infused batter. Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon treat, this bread offers a delightful blend of sweetness and spice with a soft crumb that pairs wonderfully with butter or jam.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Swirl:

  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and 2 cups of sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps to incorporate air for a tender crumb.
  3. Add Eggs and Buttermilk: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the buttermilk to create a smooth, well-combined wet mixture.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour and baking soda to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the bread remains tender.
  6. Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the ⅔ cup sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly for the flavorful swirl.
  7. Layer the Batter and Swirl: Pour one-fourth of the batter evenly into each loaf pan. Sprinkle a generous layer of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in each pan. Repeat this layering with the remaining batter and cinnamon sugar, finishing with a top layer of cinnamon sugar.
  8. Create the Swirl: Use a knife to gently swirl the batter and cinnamon sugar together in each loaf pan to create a marbled effect.
  9. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the bread is fully baked.
  10. Cool the Bread: Allow the loaves to cool in their pans for about 10 minutes before removing them onto wire racks to cool completely, preventing sogginess and preserving texture.

Notes

  • This bread freezes beautifully — wrap it tightly in foil and store it in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months for convenient future enjoyment.
  • Buttermilk can be substituted with sour milk or plain yogurt if buttermilk is not available.
  • Serve the bread warm with butter for a comforting breakfast or toast slices to enhance the cinnamon flavor.
