Satisfying Cinnamon Bread

This satisfying cinnamon bread recipe is slightly sweet and super delicious!  It’s perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!

I can’t remember where I got this recipe.  I want to say that my mom, Claire saw it and passed it on to me since she knew I love all things cinnamon.

Chocolate Shocker

I have been making this bread for many years and one of the times I made it, I put chocolate chips in it.  Let’s just say that they didn’t improve it.

Isn’t that crazy?  What can’t be improved with chocolate??  I know I was shocked.  Did I dislike it with the chocolate chips inside?  No, I certainly didn’t, but did I love it?  No.  That’s what surprised me.  The chips couldn’t improve what this bread is all about.

Which is the cinnamony goodness.

So I made the decision to not make it with chocolate chips again.  Christopher was shocked.  He kept eyeing me suspiciously.

I’m sure he was wondering if I were a pod person pretending to be his wife.

Here are a few other breads I enjoy:

• Chocolate bread
• Beer bread
• Zucchini bread

How to make Cinnamon Bread

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

I gather the dry ingredients which include flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

I dump them in my mixing bowl.

Now, I gather the wet ingredients.

I get out the buttermilk mix, 2 eggs, vanilla and olive oil.  In a separate mixing bowl, I make one cup of buttermilk and I add the eggs, vanilla and olive oil.

I take my whisk and mix the wet ingredients together.

I greased my own bread pan because Christopher is not available.  But, don’t worry, I wear disposable gloves to keep my hands grease free.

I pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix it all with my trusty spatula.  I pour the cinnamon bread batter into the greased pan.

Topping

I also make the topping at this time.  I get a small mixing bowl and add 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 3 tablespoons of butter.  I get my dough cutter and mix the topping ingredients together.

I pour the topping  on the batter.

I place the pan in the oven and bake the bread for 45 minutes.

Cinnamon Bread is Ready

I take it out of the oven and after 5 minutes, I remove the cinnamon bread from the pan and plop it onto a wire rack.

You can cut it warm if you like, but do so at your own risk and make sure you use a serrated edge knife.

Time to plate two pieces and eat them.

Yes, two.

🙂

Let’s slather on some butter, shall we?

Yummy!

I hope you enjoyed this recipe.
