I've had Grace on my mind today. Grace from A Southern Grace that is. She's the biggest cinnamonaholic I've ever heard of and my entire house is smelling of cinnamon at the moment. She'd be in heaven.
Recently I read someone's post about leftover buttermilk and how she was always madly searching for recipes to use it up. So true. I've had some in the fridge for three weeks and have been debating dumping it. I've used it in several recipes...but today almost threw it out. But then Pinterest came along and there was this recipe for cinnamon bread made with buttermilk.....
Oh my.
Buttermilk Cinnamon Bread
From Taste of Home (Originally published as Buttermilk Cinnamon Bread in Quick Cooking May/June 1998, p19)
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon finely chopped walnuts or pecans
Method:
Preheat oven to 350.
Butter two small loaf pans and then sprinkle with bread crumbs. Tap out the excess.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, combine oil and 3/4 cup sugar. Add buttermilk and eggs; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; distribute about 1/3 of the batter in the pans, then sprinkle half the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top. 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.
A hint: the bread is very crusty on top. You'll find it cuts easier after refrigerating. I find that with most sweet breads, actually.

I always think of Grace when I make something very cinnamony too!
aahh Barbara, believe me when I say amazing!! really think in amazing!!!LOL I love this type of bread look yumm!Love cinnamon!
I think I'll have to dump mine and buy fresh. This looks worth it.
Waw, Barbara! that sweeter cinnamon swirled bread looks fantatsic & pretty attractive & tasty too!
Easy to make as well! A must make too!
I love this because I too think of Grace when I think of cinnamon (and of course I don't know her in real life!) I love the look of this bread--and of course I have buttermilk to use up in my fridge! I don't have a loaf pan, though, maybe I'll do in a round cake pan.
i love that cinnamon smell wafting through the house too! this looks so good!
Oh my indeed! It really looks wonderful and I love cinnamon.
Oh, comfort food all the way! :)
Leftover buttermilk - check. Cinnamonaholic - check.
I think I need this in my life.
Baking bread that contains cinnamon has to be the best smell in the world. This looks incredible Barbara.
I love cinnamon bread and preparing it with buttermilk must really add to the flavor.
That must smell and taste heavenly! Good tip about refrigerating before cutting. Did you know that you can freeze buttermilk? I've tried it and it works beautifully. It's nice to have a cup or two in the freezer for baking emergencies :)
Buttermilk and cinnamon - what can be better?! This bread looks so appetizing!
Hi Barbara,
Oh yes, the smell of cinnamon when you are cooking is the best.
Thanks for sharing the recipe and hope you are enjoying the weekend
hugs

this looks so good and moist :-) hows the new place
Buttermilk and cinnamon - how nice! Have you tried the roast saigon cinnamon that is now available in the stores? I really like it. Don't you wish they would sell buttermilk in 1 pint cartons?
What a beautiful loaf of bread! This one will go on my "must try" list.
barbara, you slay me. it makes me so giddy that you associate me with cinnamon--a gal could do worse! :)
this bread is awesome, and not entirely because of the cinnamon. the texture looks amazing too!
Oh my goodness, that looks amazing!
I can smell this through the screen. It looks so easy! I shall make it for the art ladies!
Yes me too! I have just enough left for one recipe and have been wrestling over what to do with it... I think I've found it. Great cake.
I always have this problem with some stuff I keep in my fridge or in my pantry! You managed to use the buttermilk in the most sweet way Barbara!
Hooray! A new and delicious way to use up that buttermilk! Gonna try this for sure. Beautiful swirls!
