Ingredients:

• All-purpose flour — An essential ingredient for any bread recipe, of course.
• Granulated sugar — This is a sweet bread, but not too sweet.
• Cinnamon — No snickerdoodle is complete without the classic flavor of cinnamon, so of course, our snickerdoodle bread recipe includes it too.
• Baking powder — Essential for the airy texture of our bread.
• Butter, unsalted and melted — Make sure the butter has cooled to room temperature after melting it, so it doesn’t accidentally cook the eggs.
• Greek yogurt — Helps to give the bread its dreamy texture. Use nonfat yogurt for a more healthy snickerdoodle bread is pure heaven version.
• Vanilla extract — A little goes a long way flavor-wise with this bread.
• Eggs — For best results, let the eggs come to room temperature before adding them to your batter.

How to make Snickerdoodle Bread:

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the baking chips. Add one at a time, then beat on high until smooth.

Start by adding all-purpose flour.

Then add the granulated sugar.

Then add the baking powder.

Then add the cinnamon.

Then pour in the butter.

Then add the vanilla extract.

Then add the eggs and the Greek yogurt. I use nonfat.

Step 3. Fold the baking chips into the batter.

Step 4. Spread the batter in an even layer in a well-greased loaf pan. Make sure to add some extra cinnamon chips to the top of the batter after you’ve spread it.

Step 5. Bake for 40-50 minutes until cooked through.

Now, remember to save this recipe on Pinterest for later 🙂

Tips for Success

No matter where on your baking journey you’re at, you can always use some tips, right? So, here’s what has always worked for me to get a good rise when I bake this family friendly Snickerdoodle Bread is pure heaven:

1. Don’t overfill the pan. If you fill it to the brim (and you’d want to, it’s just so tempting), your bread will collapse because there’s no room to rise.
2. Grease the pan. Always, always, always! You want the batter to cling to the top portion of the pan when baking, but you want to grease the bottom and the corners to make it easier to remove the loaf later.

If you notice a crack down the middle of the loaf as it’s baking, kiss your hands! You’re getting there.

Storing Leftovers

You’ll want to store this Snickerdoodle Bread covered at room temperature – nice and easy! It’ll be fresh to enjoy for 4 to 5 days. You can also pop it in the fridge (of course, covered well) to add some extra days to the shelf life.

This sweet quick-bread also freezes beautifully. Once you bake and cool it, you’ll want to slice it, then wrap it in plastic wrap/freezer paper/aluminum foil. Once you do, you can freeze it for up to 3 months.

Serving Suggestions

It’s already sweet and tasty, so I love to serve it as is. But for a little more wow, serve it with a dollop of whipped cream. You can also try a scoop of your favorite ice cream. Yum!

FAQ:

When Can I Buy Cinnamon Chips?

These seasonal delights are usually on store shelves during the fall, and sometimes in the winter too. I’d say stock up whenever and where ever you see them. These are a treasure.

Can I Make The Bread Ahead of Time?

Yes you can! Store it per the instructions above, and it will keep for several days ahead of time.

You can always prepare your batter in advance also. It’ll stay good in the fridge for up to 24 hours. But because it’s chilled now, you’ll have to add a few extra baking minutes.

What Are Some Snickerdoodle Bread Variations?

There’s so much you can do to this recipe. It’s amazing. If you’re looking for homemade Snickerdoodle Bread is pure heaven ideas, I’ve tried a few of these:

• Bake mini loaves in aluminum mini loaf pans.
• Make muffins instead of a bread loaf. You can expect about 20 muffins from this recipe.
• When we didn’t have cinnamon chips, we tossed in some toffee chips and butterscotch chips instead. They were beautiful. You can also use old-school raisins and chopped nuts. Chocolate chips are a great option as well.

Snickerdoodles have a flavor that really can’t be beat. Combine that awesome flavor with the texture of homemade bread, and you’ve got a recipe for pure happiness!
