Amish Cinnamon Bread

One of the great things about this Amish Cinnamon Bread is that it’s a quick bread – so no yeast or kneading is involved! Everything is mixed in a bowl (or two) and poured into pans to bake.  It sounds easy because it really is that easy! Plus, this recipe makes TWO loaves!! The hardest part will be waiting for the baked bread to cool off enough to enjoy it!

Why Choose Challenge Butter

While there are many things I’ll skimp on, quality ingredients aren’t one of them. I believe good ingredients help take a recipe from being just an okay recipe to being a recipe everyone has to have. 

When it comes to butter, you will always find Challenge Butter in my fridge and freezer! I like to stay stocked up for any kind of baking day that comes my way!

Challenge is the only dairy product company that controls the whole process when it comes to making its butter – from milking the cows to transporting the milk, to making the butter, and to packaging. It’s made the right way – the old-fashioned way! With no hormones, additives, or fillers and farm to fridge in just TWO days. Challenge Butter is a taste you’ll love – my family does!

How to Make Amish Cinnamon Bread – Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans and set aside.

Amish Cinnamon Bread – FAQ’s

• Can you freeze Amish Cinnamon Bread?

Yes! Most quick bread recipes freeze pretty well. To freeze, wrap loaves securely in aluminum foil, freezer wrap, or place in freezer bags. Quick bread loaves can also be cut into individual servings before freezing. Be sure to label all packages with the name of the recipe and date. For best quality, use bread within six months. 

• Can I add cinnamon chips to the batter?

Sure! I think it would be a fantastic addition … I think chocolate chips would be great, too!
