Cinnamon Bread Tips

Start With the Dry Ingredients

As outlined in the recipe below, it’s best that you start by whisking the dry ingredients together before adding anything else.

Sifting together dry ingredients in a large glass bowl

For most recipes, I like to mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate bowls, but for my cinnamon bread, that’s not necessary. You can start with the dry ingredients in one bowl then add the wet ingredients after whisking them together. (Psst: this can save you time and cleaning dishes!)

Be Sure to Layer the Batter and the Cinnamon

The best part about this recipe is the bursts of cinnamon flavor you get in every bite! To evenly distribute the cinnamon sugar, be sure you layer the batter and the cinnamon sugar accordingly. I explain how in the recipe card below!

Can I Freeze Cinnamon Bread?

Yes, this loaf can be frozen, if desired. To freeze, wrap the loaf or slices of it in plastic, followed by aluminum foil. It can then be frozen for up to three months.

To serve the loaf from the freezer, allow it to come to room temperature by laying it on your counter. Then, bake it in a 300 degree oven for about 10 minutes.

Are There Any Ingredient Substitutes?

Absolutely! You can use your choice of milk rather than cow’s milk for this recipe. For most milk types, it’s a 1:1 ratio, so you don’t need to change the measurements.

What Consistency Does Cinnamon Bread Have?

Because this particular bread is a no-yeast recipe, it’s lighter and more cake-like than your average loaf. As mentioned before, it pairs great with coffee and tea, and tastes great with toppings like hazelnut spread or condensed milk.
