Quick Amish Friendship Bread or Muffins (No Starter Required)

Recipe #109140 | 1¼ hours | 15 min prep | add private note

I love this bread and I had a craving for it, but didn't want to wait the month it took for the starter to be ready, so, I modified it a bit. It might not be quite as tasty as the original, but it's great if you want it in a hurry! I like to use butterscotch pudding for a different, but really nice flavor! Hope you enjoy!

This is one of my favorite recipes. I love it even more now that I am 35 weeks pregnant. No waiting for friendship bread? What could be better. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. And I think that it is better than the original that requires a starter....

    I've made this for the 5th time and thought I had reviewed it. It's my son-in-law's most requested dessert. He lives across state and my daughter is paying them a visit this week, so I'm sending him another loaf, which he hoards from visitors and keeps it only for himself and family. I add 1 c. nuts and sprinkle the bundt pan with sugar and cinnimon. Thanks for posting. PS: I was given some original Amish friendship bread made with the starter. IMHO, this one is better, and much easier.

    I have made the orginal Amish Friendship Bread and decided to try this one. This was awesome. Super moist even though I had to use the small box of vanilla pudding. I sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on the botton of my bunt pan and some on top befor cooking. Turned out great!!! Forget making the orginal recipe which takes forever when you can make this and get the same bread!!! This is recipe has replaced the old one. Thanks for submitting!!!

    This was a big hit at the holiday office party and the karate dojo. Don't forget to add the 1/2 c. milk in at step 2.
