Buttermilk Cinnamon Bread

Several months back, we started taking homemade bread to all the families that visited our church on Sundays. I can almost make this bread without the recipe now, and wanted to share it. It's super easy, and great to make at the last minute because it has very basic ingredients that most of us keep on hand. :)

Buttermilk Cinnamon Bread
Ingredients:
4 c. all-purpose flour
2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 1/2 c. sugar, divided
2 c. buttermilk (2 T. vinegar and enough regular milk to make 2 c. let sit for 5 minutes)
2 eggs
1 T. ground cinnamon
1 T. finely chopped walnuts
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, combine oil and 1 1/2 c. sugar. Add buttermilk and eggs; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill two greased 8x4x2, or five mini loaf pans about 1/3 full. Combine cinnamon and remaining 1 c. sugar; sprinkle half over the batter. Top with remaining batter and cinnamon-sugar. Swirl batter with a knife. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
