Amish Cinnamon Bread Recipe
A sweet, tender loaf infused with a cinnamon-sugar swirl, this amish cinnamon bread recipe delivers a cozy, comforting flavor that pairs perfectly with morning coffee or an afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon plus extra for topping
(Optional) ½ cup chopped nuts or raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Form Batter: Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- Layer and Swirl: Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, then add the remaining batter. Finish with more cinnamon-sugar on top and swirl lightly with a knife.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. If needed, cover with foil in the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the bread to rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before slicing.
Notes
If you’re out of buttermilk, simply add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a quick substitute.
