Buttermilk Cinnamon Bread


Something different! Not a dinner recipe! :) I made this last week (in March!), and it was pretty good. Not my favorite quick bread, but it was ok. I can't quite put my finger on what it needed, I'll have to eat some more to try to figure it out!! :)

*Handy Kitchen Tip* If you don't have buttermilk on hand you can make it! For each cup of buttermilk needed, measure 1 Tablespoon of vinegar and enough milk to make 1 cup. Let sit for about 5 minutes before using.

Recipe from Taste of Home

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2-1/2 cups sugar, divided
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts (I left these out because I don't like walnuts. Maybe that's what it needed?!?!)

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, combine oil and 1-1/2 cups sugar. Add buttermilk and eggs; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill two greased 8-in. x 4-in. or five greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans about a third full. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle half over the batter. Top with remaining batter and cinnamon-sugar. Swirl batter with a knife. Sprinkle with nuts.
  • Bake at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves or 5 mini loaves.
