I think most of you know Danni from Silo Hill Farm, so you can understand why I’m so happy to be sharing one of her fabulously irresistible recipes today! Cinnamon Bread is truly one of my favorites things to eat, and this one looks exceptional! I can smell it from here :).
This is not a complicated recipe. I think it is one of the first things we made in Home Economics in 8th grade. Remember when they called it that? Now they call it Family and Consumer Science. (Hmmm…as a teenage girl, those were not things that were on my mind. LOL!) But I do remember that when we made this bread, the halls of the school smelled heavenly and the boys were particularly nice that day, hoping to get a slice.
This recipe is like any quick-bread recipe, goes together fast (because Jr. High girls have the attention span of a gnat) and no yeast, which means no kneading.
Cinnamon Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
1 Cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 Cups of Buttermilk (or 2 C. milk plus 2 Tblsp. vinegar)
4 Cups of flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
Topping:
2/3 Cups sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease two 9 x 5 loaf pans.
Cream butter, sugar and eggs. Add milk,flour and baking soda and mix thoroughly. Put 1/2 of the batter (1/4 in each) in bottom of pans. Sprinkle 3/4 of the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top. Add remaining batter to pans and sprinkle with the rest of the sugar mixture. Stick a knife in and swirl the batter around a little. Bake 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 20 minutes and invert onto a plate. Cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
Here are links to a few other recipes I’ve shared that are particularly yummy, in case you wake up feeling all Consumer Science-y.

Julie says
Hi Doreen and Danni, wow this bread looks so good and I bet is delicous tasting. Thanks so much Danni for sharing your rcipe for the bread. I’m looking forward to making this recipe!
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thank you Julie! I hope you give it a try! It’s a pretty forgiving recipe and ever so tasty!
Brenda Kula says
I do believe I could whip these up and bake in my Breville Smart oven. I can almost smell the cinnamon now!
Brenda
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
I have no idea what a Breville Smart Oven is…but i’m off to google it! Thank you!
Dewena says
Anything with cinnamon in it is a favorite with me. But then I once kept nagging my husband to add cinnamon to his oatmeal and said how much I loved the smell. So what did the silly man do? He added cinnamon to his oatmeal but sniffed it to see how good it smelled and got it up his nostrils and was furious with me. I forgot to tell him to stir in in first!
I am one who does not know Silo Hill Farm so I’ll go knock on the door!
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thanks Dewena! Now that story made me snort my coffee through my nose!
Amy @ StowandTellU says
Danni always shares the easiest of recipes. Being a not so good cook, it’s always a delight to make any one of them. This rockin cinnamon bread is no exception. I know I can pull this one off. Thanks, Danni, for the recipe.
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thanks Amy! I do love to cook….but only if it’s a fairly easy recipe! If it got too complicated, I’d be in trouble!
Donna Wilkes says
YUM!!! I wish I could eat this. Consumer scientists – I guess that is better than Home Mec (as we pronounced it) and Better Home Living. Thanks, Doreen, for having Danni over to share.
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thank you my dear friend! We pronounced it that way too!
Suzan says
Thanks Danni and Doreen – Pinning now!
And yes I do remember when it was called Home EC – but we never made this !
I remember a tuna casserole in a styrofoam cup though LOL !
xoxo
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thanks for the pin Suzan! I don’t think we ever made Tuna Casserole…but we made some kind of macaroni thing that I still recall as being pretty awful! LOL!
Kirby says
Yum!!! And I love the “consumer science-y” remark–I still call it Home Ec.
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thanks Kirby! Do the smells from home ec pervade the halls of your school?
tammy j says
i have just spent several hours . . . time just got away from me! . . . walking through this magical blog.
i am a cozy minimalist. and so i laughed right out loud when fisherman said “we don’t need that crap anyway” !!!
a man after my own heart!
BUT… i enjoy beauty in every form. and this blog is filled with incredible beauty. in person. in cuisine. in creativity.
and oh my … the wedding of sarissa and josh. how adorable are they both! and YOU and that amazing brooch bouquet.
i toured the cabin and fell in love. the piano bar is genius.
uh oh. i’m turning this comment into a post. LOLOL.
i’ll keep my comments to a minimum. i promise. because i obviously get carried away. any peanut reader knows that.
i’ll definitely be back. happy trails to you and fisherman!
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
I agree with you Tammy…Doreen’s blog is just awesome!
Jemma says
Doreen and Danni!
Hi pretty ladies, and thanks for this super delightful recipe-trying to cut a few carbs right now (too many sugar cookies over
Christmas-so sad) But I’ll save this one for a Spring treat!
Jemma
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thanks Jemma! I’m right there with ya on the too many Christmas carbs!
Jane says
Thanks, Doreen and Danni! This looks so scrumptious! I would hop out of bed straightaway if I knew I was having a nice slice with my morning coffee! 🙂

Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thank you Jane! It’s a sure-fire way to get my husband to jump out of bed too!
Feral Turtle says
A good looking recipe Danni! You really are tempting me with all this talk of cinnamon. Thanks for featuring one fantastic blogger Doreen! Cheers.
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thank you Karen! You make me blush! This rates right up there with my Blueberry Crumble recipe in faves!
Sue says
Thanks for this. I have fond memories of Home Ec class. We had a wonderful teacher who let us make Cinnamon bread or cinamom rolls every morning at the beginning of class.
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
I hope you give it a try Sue. I often wonder if our home ec teacher didn’t let us make those recipes that smelled so wonderful, just to encourage other students to take the class!
Amy @ Ms. Toody Goo Shoes says
Sounds so good – I’d like a warm piece right now with my coffee. Yes, I do remember the days it was called Home Ec! Our first recipe was French Toast!
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thank you Amy! Ohhhh French Toast is one of my weaknesses! LOL!
Deneen@dreaming-n-color says
Oh I love all things cinnamon. Can’t wait to try. Thanks Danni and Doreen.
Tuula @ Thrifty Rebel says
Wow! That looks delicious, and I’m sure it smells fabulous. I don’t remember making anything this good in Home Ec. Maybe we did, but it just didn’t turn out good. lol. That’s probably it. Thanks for sharing Danni. I’ll have to try this.
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
I had a fabulous Home Ec teacher Tuula! I hope you give this a try because it’s fast, easy and yummy!
Cheryl in Wisconsin says
Consumer Science? pphhhhlllggt. I learned how to broil sirloin steaks in Home Ec. And some other stuff, I don’t really remember.
Isn’t it great that cinnamon is one of the easiest smells to imagine in your head?
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Cheryl, I have never thought about recalling the smell of cinnamon in my head…but you are so right, it’s right there as soon as I think of it!
Carrie@northwoods scrapbook says
You had me at cinnamon and sugar! Yum!! All of these recipes sound wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
**and Doreen please send some sunshine to us in the North! xoxo
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thank you Carrie! Cinnamon and sugar do seem to make most things better! I’m wanting some warm weather and sun as well!
Kelly says
thanks for sharing this delicious looking recipe. I love cinnamon! This time of year it is especially good.
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thank you Kelly! Yes, this time of year, yummy stuff from the oven is particularly comforting!
Poppy says
Hi Danni and Doreen,
Thank so much for this lovely recipe; I can smell that infusion of cinnamon baking up in the oven, making the entire house smell like heaven – all the way across the pond. I have made several cinnamon bread recipes, but never with buttermilk, so I will definitely give this a try. Thanks so much for sharing and have a lovely week!
xo
Poppy
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thank you Poppy! I think the buttermilk gives it some “heft” and yes, the smell is divine!
rue says
Oh wow! I definitely need to make this recipe. And yes, I remember when they called it that. The new name for it is completely ridiculous lol But, I’m glad they still have it available no matter what they call it 🙂
I can’t wait to check out the rest of your blog. Thank you for coming by mine.
rue
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thanks Rue, growing up in a house of 7 kids, I probably wouldn’t have learned to cook much if it weren’t for home-ec, so I’m pretty glad they still have it as well.
Sherry says
This looks so good! I’m drooling… great recipe Danni! And nice to meet you Doreen! I’m going to snoop around and definitely follow along!
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Hey Sherry, thank you! I know you’re being good lately, but if you fall off the wagon…this is one that makes it worth it! LOL!
Amy of While Wearing Heels says
YUM. Thanks for the cheater version of buttermilk…I never have that on hand.
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thank you Amy, I often use the buttermilk powder…but the cheater version is my back up plan!
fiona says
Oh yummy, and the recipe looks so easy, I need to try this one.
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thank you Fiona! I think that is one of the reasons I love this recipe!
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thank you again Doreen for letting me guest post. I’ve had out of town company for the last 12 days, so it took me a bit to get to the responses, but you have some lovely followers who have made me feel quite welcome as a guest poster here!
Mel says
Yum too easy I need some stat
Danni@SiloHillFarm says
Thanks Mel! Get those kids to make you some!
Manuela@A Cultivated Nest says
