SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

SPICE: You can substitute apple pie spice for the cinnamon for a twist in your snickerdoodle loaf.

BUTTERMILK: If you don’t have buttermilk, simply stir in 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to 1¾ cup regular milk.

CINNAMON CHIPS: If you can find them, you can add regular or mini cinnamon chips to your batter for an extra burst of cinnamon. If you can’t find cinnamon chips, you could substitute butterscotch chips in this recipe.

HOW TO MAKE THIS SNICKERDOODLE BREAD RECIPE

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with baking or cooking spray and set it aside.

PRO TIP:

You can line the loaf pan with parchment paper “wings” before spraying with baking spray to help lift it out of the loaf pan.

STEP TWO: Using a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Set flour mixture aside.

STEP FIVE: Using a small mixing bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and the cinnamon.

STEP SIX: Spoon ⅓ of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. 

STEP SEVEN: Evenly sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of the batter.

STEP EIGHT: Repeat the layering until the last ⅓ of the batter has been spooned in. Evenly sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the bread batter.

STEP NINE: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes away clean.

STEP TEN: Allow the snickerdoodle bread to cool slightly before removing it from the loaf pan and transferring it to a cooling wire rack to cool completely.

PRO TIP:

When inverting the bread from the pan, I recommend doing it over a paper towel so the cinnamon-sugar doesn’t make a mess. 

The longer the loaf of snickerdoodle bread sits, the more moist the slices will be.

HOW TO SERVE

Cinnamon lovers will welcome this bread with a cup of coffee or homemade pumpkin spice latte. It is the perfect addition to your breakfast table and you will love the tasty blend of cinnamon and sugar that is so reminiscent of the cookies of the same name.

STORAGE

IN THE FRIDGE: Store any leftovers of this homemade bread in an airtight container, at room temperature, for up to 7 days.

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze the baked bread wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil for up to 4 months. Allow the loaf to thaw completely.
