Deliciously moist Snickerdoodle Banana Bread with a cinnamon sugar addition throughout! Using only one bowl, this is quick to prepare and a favorite with all!
This week, its Teacher Appreciation week at my kids schools! Since I take any excuse I can to get in the kitchen, I decided to whip up a batch of my Snickerdoodle Banana Bread! Not only is it simple to make, but everyone loves a good banana bread, right?
I typically like to keep extra bananas in my freezer. Just as they are getting too brown for my kids liking, I toss them in the freezer for a later date! I pulled a few out yesterday morning and let them thaw a bit. Once I did some chores around the house, they were good and ready to toss into the batter!
If you don’t like the cinnamon sugar combo, simply omit from this bread and you’ll still have a perfectly moist banana bread! But, I recommend trying the cinnamon sugar addition!
This recipe makes about 4 mini loaves of this bread, which was great because there are 3 teachers to bake for, and we got to enjoy one ourselves!
I wrapped each loaf in plastic wrap and stuck it in a treat bag! I printed tags that said “I am bananas for you as my teacher! Thanks for being you!” and attached them to each loaf. The teachers all LOVED the bread and thought the tag was adorable! Lots of thank you notes came home the next day!
You can make this for breakfast, a snack, a sweet treat in the evening, or freeze for later! Its the perfect gift for friends, neighbors, family, or teachers!
Using only one bowl, clean up is a breeze! Enjoy and let me know what you think of my Snickerdoodle Banana Bread if you try it!

Can you use non fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
Kristin
Absolutely! That works great!

The first recipe ingredient says BREAD – but I don’t see that below in the instructions?
Kristin
Sorry for the confusion, I went ahead and revised the directions to correct!
Ali Merril
Sounds delicious. Have you made it using just one regular size log pan? I don’t have mini loaf pans. How long should I bake it?
Kristin
Absolutely! That works great! I would bake for about 50-60 minutes, but keep an eye on it starting around 45 minutes as every oven bakes differently! Enjoy!

I made this and it was amazing! I used one bundt pan instead of a large loaf pan. I did modify a bit as I added a pinch of salt and a tsp of baking powder. It was so good -everyone gobbled it up! Thank you!
Kristin
Yea!! Glad you enjoyed! Love the idea of this being made in a bundt pan!
Sandy Goodbrand
Does this bread save well
Kristin
Absolutely! Whether you keep it in a container on the counter, or in the refrigerator….it should keep for about 1 week. Or, you can freeze it for up to 3-4 months!
