Amish Cinnamon Bread – Sweet Easy Recipes for Cozy Mornings
This Amish Cinnamon Bread? Oh, it's the kind of recipe that makes you feel like you’ve wrapped yourself in a warm sweater on a chilly morning. The smell alone—sugar, cinnamon, and something a little buttery—had my kids wandering into the kitchen, asking if we had company coming over. Spoiler: we didn’t. I just wanted a slice (or three) of something sweet that didn't come out of a box.
The best part? No starter. None of that week-long wait for the bread to rise like it’s prepping for a high-stakes audition. Just mix, swirl, bake, and you’re golden. And if you’ve got five spare minutes, you’re already halfway to the oven.
Perfect with a mug of coffee, afternoon tea, or just standing in your kitchen with the oven light on, watching it puff up beautifully. It’s homey, it’s simple, and honestly, it’s one of those sweet easy recipes that you’ll make again before the week’s out.
Servings: 10 slices
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup sugar (for cinnamon swirl)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan—or do what I do and line it with parchment paper so it pops out like magic.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Combine it with the dry stuff. Stir just until the batter comes together—don’t overthink it.
- Pour half of the batter into the pan. In a small bowl, stir together 2/3 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle half over the batter.
- Add the rest of the batter, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar over the top. Swirl it all gently with a knife—go wild, but not too wild.
- Bake for about 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool (I know, it’s hard). Slice. Eat. Repeat.
