Amish Cinnamon Bread – Quick Cinnamon Bread Easy Recipes

Some mornings, you just need something warm, sweet, and so simple you could probably make it half-asleep. That’s where this Amish Cinnamon Bread comes in. It’s the kind of recipe that feels like a hug from your grandma—if your grandma used lots of butter and sugar and didn’t ask you why you’re still single. I’ve baked my fair share of quick breads, and let me tell you, this one’s earned a permanent spot in my kitchen. There’s no yeast, no proofing, no fuss—just a rich batter with a cinnamon-sugar swirl that practically begs for a coffee pairing. It’s like coffee cake’s humble cousin who doesn’t need a crumble topping to win you over. On my site, Lila Cooks, I always look for recipes that hit the sweet spot between comfort and convenience, and this cinnamon bread checks all the boxes. It’s perfect for a slow weekend morning or for those evenings when dinner ends early and your sweet tooth kicks in. Just be warned: one slice usually turns into two.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 cup of sugar, and eggs until smooth.
  3. Add buttermilk, flour, and baking soda. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 cup of sugar with the cinnamon.
  5. Pour a quarter of the batter into each loaf pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter in both pans.
  6. Add the rest of the batter on top and finish off with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
  7. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter.
  8. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
