Snickerdoodle Bread

January 1, 2013

This bread is magical.

I’m not someone who could generally be accused of being a snickerdoodle freak, though I’m a sucker for a cinnamon-sugar combo. But I might change my mind after having this snickerdoodle bread.

Crazy Easy Snickerdoodle Bread | This delicious quick bread is fluffy, moist, sweet, and pure cinnamon-sugar magic! Only takes 5 minutes to stir together. #snickerdoodle #quickbread #dessertrecipe

The blog I got this recipe from (Lil Luna) warns that the cinnamon chips are usually only in grocery stores during the holidays, so best to stock up on a few bags right now while the getting is good.  There was actually a shortage a few years back for months, and I started effectively buying them on the black market 🙂

The other great part about this bread (cake? cake bread? bread cake?) is that it literally takes five minutes to mix together, then you just pop it in the oven and go about your business! I realized late in the day that the next morning was my “breakfast day” at work and I didn’t have much of an evening to make something, and this turned out to be the perfect option (and I carefully packed the second loaf in my carry-on bag to visit my family the next day!).

Other snickerdoodle magic you’ll love:

Brown Butter Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodle Biscotti

Regular Snickerdoodle Cookies

Cream the butter, sugar, salt and cinnamon together until fluffy, then add the eggs and mix well.  Add the vanilla and sour cream (I used greek yogurt) and beat into a batter.

Then add the dry ingredients—flour and baking powder—and mix on low until incorporated into the batter.

Lastly, stir in the cinnamon chips. I used only about half of what the recipe called for (because they are quite strong, and add a LOT of sugar), but feel free to go crazy.  The recipe below reflects what *I* did.

Adding the dry ingredients to the batter

Pour into two prepared loaf pans.

Mix up your cinnamon sugar and sprinkle liberally over both loaves.

Bake for 40-50 minutes.  Make sure it’s really done—the cinnamon-sugar topping will make it look darker than it really is, so go by the toothpick tester method.  Let (mostly) cool before serving.

This snickerdoodle bread got rave reviews from my family and I probably scarfed half of it myself. I can’t wait to make it again! My only complaint is that it is NOT healthy…so at some point I’d love to try recreating it in a way that keeps all the amazing flavor but makes it a little healthier.

  2. Cream the butter, sugar, salt and cinnamon together until fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and mix well, then add in the vanilla and sour cream.

  7. Mix 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle liberally over the batter in each pan.

Anyone who knows me know that travel + pastries is Anyone who knows me know that travel + pastries is one of my favorite combos. So when I was in Finland a couple months ago, I obvs couldn't resist eating an insane amount of their traditional cinnamon buns (called korvapuusti, or "little ear buns"). 

And a few days after I got home, I needed some comfort food, so decided to recreate them for myself...these Finnish cinnamon rolls are heavily spiced with cardamom, chewier and denser, and super easy to make!
