    If you like a Snickerdoodle cookie, you’re going to love this Snickerdoodle bread. It’s a sweet, buttery quick bread studded with luscious cinnamon chips with a crispy cinnamon sugar topping.

    slices of Snickerdoodle-Bread-With-Cinnamon-Chips

    One of the breads that I created for the first National Food Bloggers Bake Sale, part of the Great American Bake Sale, is a scrumptious quick bread recipe, Snickerdoodle Bread. It has the tangy sweetness of a Snickerdoodle cookie with a moist, bet-you-can’t-eat-just-one-slice, interior.

    The aroma while this bread is baking will draw everyone to the kitchen.  But I’ve added another layer of cinnamony goodness by adding cinnamon to the batter and loading it with luscious cinnamon chips. Cinnamon chips are white chocolate chips flavored with cinnamon. They add a burst of flavor and a nice texture to the bread.

    Where Can I Buy Cinnamon Chips

    Cinnamon chips can sometimes be hard to find in stores, especially in the summer. Grocery stores and Walmart often only carry them in the winter. You can order 3 packages on Amazon for $4 a package. 

    You can order them directly from Hershey’s online. King Arthur Flour carries mini cinnamon chips. If you live in the Salt Lake City area, Gygi usually has the Hershey’s chips and the mini cinnamon chips. 

    What Can I Substitute for the Cinnamon Chips

    If you don’t want to order the cinnamon chips and you can’t find them at your local grocery store, people often substitute butterscotch chips for the cinnamon chips in this recipe. You won’t get the extra burst of cinnamon, but the chips add a nice contrasting texture to the bread.  

    Snickerdoodle Bread in loaf pans

    Since I originally posted the recipe, I tweaked my Snickerdoodle bread recipe a little bit so the loaves rise even better into the classic quick bread dome shape. Now with the addition of one more egg and a bit more flour, your Snickerdoodle bread will look even more irresistible. 

    Be sure and watch the video to see how quick and easy this bread is to make.

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups all purpose flour

    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
    • 1 cup butter softened
    • 2 cup sugar
    • 4 eggs

    • 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 ⅔ full.) Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of the batter in the pans.

      This was amazing and got rave reviews from my hard-to-please 18-year-old daughter. 😂 My only regret is having to cut the recipe in half because I was short on cinnamon chips. I even had to toss in a few white chocolate chips to get the full 3/4 cup of chips needed for one loaf. It was so good! I’ll make sure I have plenty of cinnamon chips next time because one loaf is just not enough.

      Hi! In this recipe did you use salted butter or unsalted?

        Whichever you like or have on hand. Unsalted would be the traditional answer but I’ve found it doesn’t matter for this recipe.

      Can you use self rising flour instead of all purpose

        Hi Judy – I haven’t tried it, but it should work well. Just sub the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for the self-rising flour (assuming your self-rising flour contains salt.)

        Hi Michelle – no, this is a quick bread and not a yeast bread, so it’s not a good choice for a bread machine.
