Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice + milk to make 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

How to Make Amish Cinnamon Bread – Easy Steps

  1. Preheat and Prep

    Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan with butter or spray. If you’re using regular milk, make a quick buttermilk by mixing 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice into 1 cup of milk and let it sit.

  2. Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add buttermilk, vanilla, and then mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until smooth.

  3. Prepare the Cinnamon Mixture

    In a separate small bowl, mix 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon to make the cinnamon sugar mixture.

  4. Layer and Swirl

    Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture on top of the batter, then add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar. Use a knife to gently swirl.

  5. Bake and Cool

    Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

This Amish Cinnamon Bread is a no-yeast quick bread, perfect for beginners and busy bakers. The simple cinnamon-sugar swirl adds a cozy, sweet touch to every slice. For best results, use buttermilk—or make your own with milk and vinegar or lemon juice—for a soft, tender crumb.
