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.
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.
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.

The cinnamon chips are like a white chocolate chip flavored with cinnamon. I was just looking through a King Arthur Flour catalog and they are selling cinnamon chips $6.95 1-lb bag and you can order Hershey's cinnamon chips on Amazon. Although you have to order 12 bags on Amazon they are only about $2.50 each bag.

Even I, who is not that crazy about cinnamon in sweets, would adore a slice of that bread with a cup of hot java; this is a fantastic way to help out a cause that is so so vital; it is scandalous to think that children are going hungry in the United States of all places!
Faith
This is such a good cause to raise awareness of — and a good cause to bake for! 😉 I'm sure your bread will be one of the first things to sell out, it looks incredible!

I'm all over this bread! I can only find cinnamon chips at the holidays so this year I bought 5 packages. Then they were on clearance after Christmas and I bought 5 more bags!!! I have chips spilling out of the pantry. I see snickerdoodle bread in my near future. Hope you had a great time at the fund raiser. I cant believe how many Utah bloggers there are.
