Snickerdoodle Bread Recipe
Description
Snickerdoodle Bread Recipe blends softened unsalted butter with sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt to create a fragrant base. Eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract add richness and moistness, while all-purpose flour and baking powder provide structure and lift. Cinnamon chips folded into the batter enhance bursts of cinnamon flavor and a slightly chewy texture. The loaves are topped with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar that caramelizes during baking, creating a sweet crust.
The bread bakes in greased loaf pans tented with foil to prevent over-browning, resulting in a golden exterior and tender interior. The sour cream contributes to a moist crumb and subtle tang reminiscent of classic snickerdoodles, while the cinnamon-sugar topping enhances the signature cinnamon-sweet profile.
After baking, the loaves can be cooled, wrapped, and stored at room temperature or refrigerated for several days. The bread also freezes well when wrapped tightly, making it convenient to enjoy later. Cinnamon chips can be substituted with white chocolate chips if desired. Tossing the chips with a small amount of flour before folding into the batter prevents them from sinking to the bottom during baking.

- 2 cups sugar

Instructions

Notes
- Store cooled loaves at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to a week; tightly wrap for freshness.
- Freeze wrapped loaves for up to 4 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Cinnamon chips can be ordered online if unavailable locally; white chocolate chips are an acceptable substitute.
- Coat cinnamon chips with flour before mixing into batter to prevent sinking.
- To make Snickerdoodle Muffins, divide batter into lined muffin tins and bake 18-20 minutes at 350°F.
