How to Make Snickerdoodle Bread

If you have cinnamon lovers in your family, then this tasty snickerdoodle bread is for you! It’s easy to make and full of cinnamon flavor. Plus, you can have this quick bread out of the oven and on your table in just over an hour.

Here’s a refresher on snickerdoodle cookies for inspiration.

Can I Make Snickerdoodle Bread in Advance?

Yes! Follow the directions below and let the bread cool completely before storing in an airtight container or wrapping in plastic.

You can serve this bread sliced at room temperature, but we especially love it warm. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350° F. Then, wrap the loaf gently in foil and place on the center rack of your oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes and remove promptly. Slice the loaf while still warm and serve.

How to Make Snickerdoodle Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup cinnamon baking chips

For the topping:

• 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (or granulated sugar)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Step 1: Flour your cinnamon chips

Begin by tossing 1 cup of cinnamon baking chips with 2 tablespoons of flour in a small bowl, set aside.

Editor’s Tip: The secret to even distribution of baking chips, nuts or other mix-ins is to coat them in flour before folding them into the batter. The flour gives the baking chips a little “grit” which helps them remain suspended throughout the bread loaf, rather than sinking to the bottom.

Step 2: Mix ingredients

Preheat oven to 350° F. In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine flour, 1-1/2 cups sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Add the buttermilk, vanilla, egg and oil and blend on your mixer’s lowest setting until moistened. Using a wooden spoon, gently fold in the reserved cinnamon baking chips. Take care not to overmix.

Step 3: Add more cinnamon

Grease the bottom and sides of a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Pour your snickerdoodle bread batter into pan. Next, in a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of turbinado sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the batter so every inch is covered in cinnamon goodness.

Step 4: Bake & serve

Bake 30-40 minutes, then tent loosely with a piece of foil to prevent the loaf from browning too much. Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When pressed gently, the bread should feel firm in the center and not too spongy.

Cool for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool for an additional 10-15 minutes. Slice while still warm and serve with butter or powdered sugar. We bet this bread would be delicious with this cream cheese icing on top!

What Can I Substitute for Cinnamon Chips?

If you can’t find cinnamon baking chips at your grocery store, don’t worry. Replace the cinnamon chips with 1 cup of other flavored baking chips like chocolate, caramel or butterscotch for a fun twist. Chopped walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts are also great extras.
