Ingredients

Scale

The key to this bread’s charm lies in using simple, quality ingredients that you likely have on hand. I always opt for fresh cinnamon and pure vanilla extract because those small touches make a big difference in flavor. Growing up, my mom taught me that even the humblest ingredients deserve respect, and that philosophy guides every recipe I create—especially this one.

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice as a substitute)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the topping: 1/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy but uniform.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the batter.
  6. Add the remaining batter on top, smoothing it gently, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top for that signature sugary crust.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top should be golden and slightly crisp.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve warm for the best experience—trust me, the cinnamon sugar crust is pure bliss when fresh out of the oven!
