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.

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 🙂

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.

Barbara Bakes
I found cinnamon chips at Fresh Market today (use to be Albertsons.) $2.99 a bag.

Thanks for the feedback Topher. I added the instructions for baking two 9×5 loaves to the recipe. I think it's probably too much batter for one loaf unless you made half a batch. But try baking it longer, until the center is finished baking. You can cover it will foil if the top is getting too browned.
Topher
So I tried making this today only change being making it as one 9×5 loaf. I had it in for around 55 minutes and it still wasn't done on one side and a bit in the center. Any thoughts/advice?

This is the very best quick bread, I have come across and it is already printed up and ready to be made except, I am out of flour.
Kim
This looks like a fantastic recipe and I can't believe I missed it! I'm adding it to my "to make" files because I happen to have a package of those cinnamon chips and I have been saving them for the perfect recipe. The bread looks out of this world delicious. I bet it sold very quickly.

I totally scored one of your snickerdoodle loafs at the bake sale…and ohhh man it was divine! Loved it so much I went out and bought myself some mini loaf pans today so I can make my own. Hopefully I can make them just as tasty:) Reading all the comments though I'm worried I won't be able to find cinnamon chips:(

I love the word Snickerdoodle, we don't really see them here much. I hope the sale went really well on Saturday. x

Oh my goodness, I sure wish I lived in Utah so I could have come and bought some of this from you. I am going to make this very soon as I know it will be a hit with my kids. Looks like you had a long list of talented ladies selling at the bake sale and I hope you all did well.
