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:

How to make cinnamon bread

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cinnamon, baking soda, flour and sugar on a wooden table

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.

Dried buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and oil on the table

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 ¼ 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.

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!
