Like the Snickerdoodle cookie this bread has a crispy cinnamon sugar topping with a sweet, buttery interior. But I’ve added another layer of cinnamony goodness by adding cinnamon to the batter and loading it with luscious cinnamon chips.
One of the breads that I’m selling at the Bake Sale (info below) is a scrumptious new quick bread recipe I created Snickerdoodle Bread. It has the tangy sweetneess of a Snickerdoodle cookie with a moist, bet-you-can’t-eat-just-one-slice, interior.
Updated 4/2013: I’ve tweaked my Snickerdoodle bread recipe a little bit so the loaves rise even better into the classic quick bread dome shape. So now with the addition of one more egg and a bit more flour, your Snickerdoodle bread will look even more irresistible.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cup cinnamon chips (1 pkg. Hershey's)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350º Spray the bottom of five mini loaf pans (5 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 2 ¼) with cooking spray with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and 2 cups sugar, until fluffy, about two minutes. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and sour cream and mix to combine. Add flour mixture and mix just until combine. Do not overmix.
- Coat the cinnamon chips with 2 tablespoons flour and stir into batter.
- Spoon batter into greased pans (Don't fill more than 2/3 full.)
- Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of the batter in the pans.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into a crack in the center of the loaf comes clean. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Remove from pan and let cool completely before serving.
Notes
You can also make this in two 9x5 loaf pans. Bake at 350º for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a crack in the center of the loaf comes out clean
The first ever National Food Bloggers Bake Sale, which is part of the Great American Bake Sale. We are raising money for Share Our Strength (SOS), a national organization fighting to end childhood hunger in the United States.
“All of us have at one time or another experienced hunger. We’ve all craved a midnight snack, wanted something salty or needed some chocolate. But there’s a big difference between trying to satisfy a brief craving or stomach growl and wondering where your next meal will come from.
The reality is that nearly 17 million children in America—that’s almost one in four—face hunger. And it’s likely that these children will endure lifelong consequences as a result of having limited access to nutritious foods.”
So here’s an easy way to make help a difference and eat tasty treats from some of the best food bloggers in the state.

I love to bake, especially cookies, cakes, and pies. I’ll post my adventures in the kitchen, my favorite new recipes, as well as our family favorites.
Made the bread and turned out fabulous! YAY! Thats exactly what I was going to post was that I found cinnamon chips at Fresh Market! YAY to that as well!
What an awesome event you participated in and a great cause. I wish the National Event in Florida was closer to me but it was about 8 hours away. Your bread looks amazing. I love snickerdoodle cookies so I KNOW I would love this bread.
Now this is something that looks super duper good! Who doesn't love snickerdoodles?!
Great looking bread and for such a great cause too. Many thanks for keeping us posted on these worthy events.
Oh Barbara – you've found my weak spot with anything snickerdoodle. This looks fantastic!
YUMMY! This looks like the easy cinnamon bread from King Arthur Flour I made a while back. I might have to make this one and compare the two
WOW! That looks incredible and am certain it tastes EVEN BETTER! I’m off to drool over your snickerdoodle snack cake, which Megan said was off the hook good!
~ingrid
I am 100% going to have to try this!
Barbara , How exciting to be featured on Cooking Club’s website! Congrats!
Oh poo!!! I so want to make this, but you just cant get cinnamon chips here in the uk
If you’re up for it Renata made cinnamon chips. http://testadoprovadoeaprovado.blogspot.com/2011/09/homemade-cinnamon-sprinkles-chips-and.html
Tried this recipe out tonight. AMAZING! Great recipe!
Hi Lindsey – thanks for taking the time to let me know you made the Snickerdoodle Bread. I’m so glad you liked it!
I have this in my oven right now…I am using a super mini loaf pan that makes 8 little loaves will make wonderful bake sale sized bread and great gifts…it smells absolutely AMAZING! and the batter is quite good as well
hehe shhh don’t tell anybody! 
Hi Sarah – I thought that was a rule that you have to try the batter before baking something
Thanks for taking the time to let me know you made the bread. Enjoy!
I love this bread!! I was thinking about making muffins. Have you ever tried this? What cooking times/temps would you suggest?
Hi Avery – I haven’t made muffins, but it sounds like a great idea. My guess on the timing would be 20 -25 minutes, but maybe check them after 18. Let me know if you make muffins. Thanks!
Love anything Snickerdoodle!! I wonder if the sour cream can be replaced by buttermilk or even milk? Not a fan of the little tang flavor sour cream leaves on baked desserts.
Hi Allie – I’ve successfully substituted yogurt for sour cream, but that may have the tang you don’t like as well. You could certainly try using milk or buttermilk but I would reduce the amount probably by half. If you decide to try it, please let me know how it goes.
Hey, Barbara, I thought you would want to know that your Snickerdoodle Bread is now in my top ten all time view posts! Congratulations!
I loved this bread. So, since the 1st time I made it I used 3/4 cup of sour cream, next time I am going to try the full cup and see how it compares!
I live in Idaho so I often have to adjust some recipes for high altitude.
Is it necessary to adjust your recipe?
Thanks so much in advance.
Barbara, how did you come up with this ingenious recipe? I’ve already made them twice
but in muffin forms rather than in loaves. And they were perfect! I even blogged about them at:

Love your post – thanks for sharing! This was the year I was in love with the Cinnadoodle cookie http://www.barbarabakes.com/2009/01/cinnadoodles/. So when I decided to make quick breads for the bake sale I wanted something non chocolaty to go with the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread http://barbarabakes.com/2010/04/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-bread/ and Chocolate Chocolate Chip Breads http://barbarabakes.com/2010/04/chocolate-chocolate-chip-bread/ I was baking. The Cinnadoodle cookies came to mind and I turned them in to a quick bread. Thanks for asking.
I LOVE sweet breads and this one sounds like a real winner!
this will be a great recipe to use up the cinnamon chips I purchased after the holidays.
Oh my gosh! I think I’m in love. This recipe moves to the top of my “Dear Wife, Will You Bake This For Me” list.
What a great thing to take part in Barbara! I wish you all lots of success. I know I wish it was here, I would be buying and eating my way through all the goodies. Can’t wait to try this bread, as I LOVE snickerdoodles so a bread sounds like a great way to have this treat with my tea! Safe trip!
