Helpful Tips for Making Cinnamon Raisin Bread
- If you don’t have a flour sifter, a wire whisk works just as well.
- I prefer to use shortening sticks instead of shortening from a tub or can. It is much easier to measure. Butter flavor is my favorite!
- Crack your eggs into a separate bowl and then pour the eggs into the recipe. This helps avoid eggshells as it’s easier to see them and remove them from a separate bowl.
- To serve, Cut down the middle, and then cut into slices like other quick breads.
Variations
- Mix chopped nuts into the batter instead of or as well as putting on top.
- Double the raisins.
- Use dried dates (chopped small) in place of raisins.
- Divide recipe in two, and make in two loaf pans instead of one square pan.

I love that there’s no yeast in this bread but it still comes out light and comforting! Plus, cinnamon raisin is one of my favorite fall flavors so this is right my ally!
