What is Amish Cinnamon Bread?

How Do You Make Amish Cinnamon Bread?

Amish Cinnamon Bread is simple and easy to make with common baking ingredients.

Mix up the batter, pour half into a loaf pan, then sprinkle in a cinnmon-sugar mixture, then repeat with another batter layer and cinnamon-sugar topping.

Note: for this recipe, I wanted a little extra “crunch” and “caramelization” with the cinnamon-sugar topping and filling. I used equal parts brown sugar and white sugar with the cinnamon. The brown sugar will help with the “thickening and adding some crunch” to the topping.

In a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar. 

Blend in the vanilla and eggs. Then sprinkle in the baking soda and blend in.

Add half of the buttermilk and half of the flour. Blend until batter begins to form.

Repeat with the remaining buttermilk and flour. Blend until batter is smooth.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon.

See note above about using brown sugar.

Pour quarter of the batter into each greased loaf pan. 

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Shake the pan gently to flatten the batter, if needed. 

Add the remaining batter and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar on top. 

Bake and let cool before slicing.

Enjoy!
