Snickerdoodle Bread

Leave a Comment

I’ve been waiting to bake this Snickerdoodle Bread for a long time. My sister sent me this recipe by email in October of 2010 when I was baking bread for a bake sale at my grandson’s school. I didn’t bake it then because I couldn’t find the cinnamon chips that were called for in the recipe. I liked the sound of the recipe, so I printed it and put it in my notebook to use later, and I kept an eye out for the cinnamon chips. Problem was, I didn’t find the cinnamon chips until just recently when I was shopping out of town.

In the meantime, my friend Andi at The Wednesday Baker has baked a very similar Snickerdoodle Bread that looks really delicious. Check hers out too.
Snickerdoodle Bread
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 (10 ounce) package cinnamon chips
2 tablespoons flour
Topping
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare two 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pans by greasing or spraying with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar; cream together with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and sour cream, mix to combine. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, whisk to combine. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, stirring just until combined. Coat the cinnamon chips with 2 tablespoons flour, then stir into the batter. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Combine sugar and cinnamon for topping. Sprinkle topping over batter before baking. Bake in preheated oven for 60 – 70 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing bread from pan.

These are the cinnamon chips that have eluded me for more than a year. I’m sure that I could have ordered them online, but I really was in no hurry. I was determined that I would find them when I was in the right place at the right time.

I decided to stray from the recipe and use some different sized pans to bake the bread. I used two of these 3-inch x 5-inch mini loaves and also this 9 cavity petite loaf pan. I had to adjust my baking times since I used smaller pans. The petite loaves bake in about 25 – 30 minutes, and the mini loaves need to bake 35 – 40 minutes.

These are the petite loaves after I turned them out of the pan. My husband saw them turned up this way and asked if this was blueberry bread. It does look a little like blueberries from the bottom, but these are the cinnamon chips showing.

I have to say, this Snickerdoodle Bread really was worth waiting for. I’ll have to buy more cinnamon chips next time I’m shopping out of town.

  3. Hi Anita, its the same recipe, I really loved it, When I saw the recipe I already had the chips. They had been in the pantry for awhile. Then when at the market the store told me cinnamon chips are a seasonal item..at christmas. I stopped one day at another market chain and they carry them full time….So I purchased 3 bags! Wonderful post hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Take care have a great weekend…………………..Andi the wednesday baker

  6. Hi Anita. So fun that your sister sent you the recipe for a bake sale. I created the recipe for a bake sale. Your loaves look moist and delicious! So glad you were able to finally find the cinnamon chips. They're great in so many recipes.

  19. I made this into giant muffins and OH MY WORD!!! Also tried it with mini muffins but just not as good-need the bigger muffins to get the moist delicious inside and the delightfully sweet top. Thanks for sharing a new family favorite!
