My family loves when I make mini loaves of bread, to slice and enjoy in the mornings. The kids have it as a snack, while my hubby and I have it for our breakfast, with coffee of course!
Since typically I make banana bread, blueberry bread, or strawberry banana bread, I decided to change things up this week. I was in the mood for something with a cinnamon sugar base, so I made this snickerdoodle bread. This recipe makes about 5 mini loaves of bread, or you can make 2 large loaves.
Not only is this a great morning treat or snack, but it also freezes well, so you can stock up for back to school baking!! My kids loved this and asked me to make it again! I sent some to work with my hubby and it was a bit hit there too!!
Enjoy!

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing from pan and serving!
Here are the loaf pans I use and love: https://amzn.to/2M30thL
This sounds delicious. What size pans would I use to make larger loaves and how long would I cook them?
I have used 9 and 10 inch pans, in addition to the mini pans. Any size works, just adjust time. If making large loaves, typically it cooks for about 45-55 minutes, but possibly longer depending on oven 🙂
could i make cupcakes out of this recipe
Awesome recipes
Do you use the flour shifted or just out out the container?
Without cream of tartar, it’s just cinnamon bread! Add 1/2 teaspoon with the dry ingredients and you’ve got Snickerdoodle Bread Extraordinaire!!
I want to try this, if I can print
Sounds delicious.
It definitely is!! Hope you enjoy!
Be sure to click the print friendly button!
Great tip, I will try that next time, thanks!
I use it straight out of the container!
Thanks!!
This looks like a nice cold weather treat with cocoa,tea or coffee.
How do u prepare the pans? Shortening and flour?
I simply spray with cooking spray, but grease works as well, or grease and flour. Whichever you prefer!
Oh definitely!! With a bit of butter on a warm slice, YUM!!
Absolutely! They would be tasty!!
this was quick and easy…not to mention delicious!
how much is a cup – here in England i still use ounces!
This bread looks delicious. Any recommendations to make this in a bread machine?
What size are the mini loaf pans?
After the salt it states 2 ts of cinnamon. Is that supposed to be tsp or tbsp?
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Oops, just corrected that to say tsp.
Hmmm, I am not sure. I’m not much help as I don’t have a lot of experience converting to bread machine. Sorry 🙁
No problem, 8 oz is 1 cup 🙂
5.75 x 3 in. (14.6 x 7.62 cm)
Cinnamon chips? Not sure my store carries those. Do you prefer the cinnamon chips or choc chips? Thanks!
https://www.kingarthurflour.com/learn/ingredient-weight-chart.html
BE SURE TO USE THIS. 1 CUP IS 8 OUNCES BY VOLUME NOT WEIGHT.
I couldn’t find them for a while in my store either! I love the chocolate chips in this bread, however, I have also omitted all chips and its been just as good!
Good catch! I should have mentioned that in my reply, but thank you for catching that and providing the chart!!
Do you freeze the uncooked dough or after its baked?
Mines in the oven right now. I can’t wait!! Can’t believe I was out of flour lol so I used my mother in laws gluten free flour. So I hope it works just the same.
Uncooked 🙂
Oh yum, how’d it turn out?? Hope it was tasty!
Can I substitute Zing (organic sugar free) in place of sugar?
This bread is delicious! Wondering however how to make it a touch less dense. Any thoughts?
Hmmm, I am not sure about that. Just make sure you aren’t over mixing the batter as that can cause it to be a bit denser. Enjoy!
As long as the conversion is on, sure! I don’t see why not!
I added chopped dates and walnuts and skipped the sour cream and made it as snickerdoodle bars. Yummy
Oh yummy! Glad you enjoyed it!
Is this plain or all-purpose flour? Thanks. Can’t wait to make this!
All purpose 🙂
cannot be snickerdoodle bread
snickerdoodles do NOT have chocolate chips
needs a new name
Sounds delicious. I think I would add chopped nuts instead of chocolate chips.
Chocolate Chips are optional in this, I use cinnamon chips or omit them, unless my kids request the chocolate. However you choose to make this, hope you enjoy it!
Great idea! Or omit chips all together and put a dollop of butter on a warm slice! Yum!!
My husband thinks this is fantastic!!
Yea!! So glad he enjoyed it!
Made this with the sea salt caramel chips instead of chocolate chips (my stores don’t carry cinnamon chips). So easy and quick to make!
Oh that sounds delicious!! Glad you enjoyed!!
I always copy and paste recipes and pictures to Word. That way I can adjust the font size and style, select the pictures I want, change the layout and make any other adjustments.
Great tip, thanks!!
I’m confused on the 11/2 cups of sugar??
Whoops, my fat fingers caused a typo! Sorry, it has been corrected but it should be 1 1/2 cups!
Made some this weekend, absolutely delicious. The whole family enjoyed
Yea!! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Can it be baked in a 9 x 13?
I haven’t tried that before, but I don’t see why not! Bars would be tasty! Enjoy!
Hi Kristin,
Can this recipe be doubled to make 10 mini loaves? Can I just double the amount of each ingredient or would I need to make adjustments for any of the ingredients? Thanks!
Absolutely! Just double the recipe! You should get about 10 mini loaves depending on how high you fill each up with batter! Enjoy!!
i go to weight watchers. can you provide the nutrtional information so i can figure the points. thanks

Love snicker doodles, will try this Tonite,. Also looking for a recipe for ginger snicker doodles cookies.
Hope you enjoy this recipe! Ginger Snickerdoodles sound tasty, I have never tried those!
Could I use whole grain flour instead of all purpose flour?
Can I use organic palm sugar instead?
How does this bread freeze? I usuall bake loaves in fall and freeze. Would this one be ok for that?
Very well, I actually have a few mini loaves in my freezer right now because it is always nice to have available for company 🙂
Sure, I don’t see why not, I am not sure on amount conversions though 🙁
Sure, I think that is an even conversion? but you may want to double check. Should work great in this recipe though!
I made 18 muffins out of this and they were wonderful! I froze them since it is just me eating them and they defrosted easily and still tasted just as good. They baked through in about 25 minutes
Yea! So glad these were a hit! Great idea on freezing as muffins!!
What size for the large oans, 9 x5? What about the 5 smaller pans? Thanks, it looks like a great recipe, can’t wait to make it!
If using large, 9×5 is perfect. As for the mini loaves, I have found that using 4 mini pans is great! However, these can be made in any size pan or as muffins! Enjoy!
I am allergic to milk, Do you have any suggestions to substitute for the sour cream?
You can use canned coconut milk I believe, however, be sure to add a splash of lemon juice for the “sour” effect that sour cream gives 🙂
Awesomeness! Can’t wait to try!
My kitchen smells wonderful after making this bread. I find it to be like a crumb coffee cake texture! I put a powdered sugar glaze over mine!!!
Yeah!! Hope you enjoy!!
I love the idea of a glaze on this! Yum!!
This would even b better if you poured butter icing over it & made it a cinnabon bread!
Ooooo, I like your thinking! That would be a great addition for sure!
I made this bread. So good!! But it didn’t raise at all. Is it suppose to raise or not?
Hey, I made this Snickerdoole bread. It was so good even though I tweaked mine a little by accident. Its on my blog today and I shared the link back to your recipe. Have a great day.
Lisa
Yea! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the link back!
Hmmm, yes, it is supposed to rise a bit! Baking powder fresh??
What are cinnamon chips? Do you mean cinnamon candy? TIA
If you look online, they make cinnamon chips which are cinnamon versions of chocolate chips. I have omitted these at times as they can be difficult to find though!
Can you do gluten free for this and how much and what kind of gluten free flour would I use?
I used mini cinnamon chips and it was awesome! You must use cream of tarter to get the snickerdoodle taste!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Good question, I have actually never tried that nor have I ever used gluten free flour, so I don’t think I am a good help, but perhaps Google and experiment? If it turns out, be sure to let me know and I will add to the recipe! Thanks!
I made this and it was terrible. I did it exactly according to the recipe, but I took it out of the oven 10 minutes early because it had pulled away from the pan and was done when a toothpick was inserted. I was so disappointed. It was very dry and had very little flavor. Much of the topping came off when I turned it out of the pan also. I love snickerdoodles and this didn’t taste at all like the cookie.
Oh no! So sorry to hear that! Could it have baked faster in your oven and been overcooked? I just made a batch of this last week and it was moist and flavorful, so I am trying to figure out what would have happened. What a bummer to hear! Again, sorry it wasn’t a hit!
I’m making this now. The instructions say either two large pans or the minis and they are to be filled 2/3 full. However, to get one large pan 2/3 full I used the whole batch. So now I’m confused as to why there wasn’t enough for the 2nd pan. It was very thick like you said.
Can you substitute the sugar for sugar substitutes because my boyfriend is a diabetic but it sure does look real good
Oops, my bad! It should have read 1 large pan or 5 mini’s. I have corrected that now! Hope you enjoyed the bread!
Sure! I don’t see why not! I am not sure as to what the conversion would be as each sugar substitute is different, but that should work good!!
I would love to keep this website but, not quite sure how I found it. LOL
LOL! Glad you found us! Hope you find lots of recipes you enjoy!!
I tried this recipe and as soon as the got out of the oven they fell I had to throw all of them away, followed the recipe step by step, don’t understand what happened☹️
Oh no! Was it fully cooked?? Was the baking powder fresh? Perhaps it was over-mixed?? I have had that happen a few times before and its always a bummer! So sorry!!
Can I use self rising flour and if so do I need to add the baking powder toi?
If using self rising flour, you would omit the baking powder and salt from this recipe as it is already in the flour! Enjoy!
Is the flour “All Purpose” flour?
Yep, sorry for not specifying! All purpose is what you use 🙂
Can I use Canned apples and add a bit of cinnamon then add too the bread instead of the chips???
Sure, just make sure no extra moisture/liquid is added from the apples bc it might make the bread too moist/soggy. Enjoy!
Kristen, have you made this by adding the cream of tartar as suggested?
Yes, it works great either with or without adding it in! Enjoy!
First time I made this the four mini loaves didn’t rise well.and caved in the middle. Just made them again, dividing the batter into just three pans. Perfect! I do add a little cream of Tartar.
So glad it worked for you the second time!! Enjoy!
How much cream of tartar was added to the recipe and if adding it was anything omitted?
I personally have never added it, but I have heard of people adding 1 tsp, not omitting anything else!
What do you think about adding a cinnamon or caramel swirl or even cheesecake? Instead of any of the child’s or raisins.
Cinnamon and Caramel for sure would work, as for cheesecake, I am not sure since it would add moisture/liquid to it. I think it is possible, just not sure how to convert it!
I have made this twice now and each time the middle has sunken in. I have used the larger loaf pans and split the batter into two of the large loaf pans. The outside of the bread bakes no problem but the middle sinks in. It still tastes great and is moist, just wish I knew why it keeps falling in. Yesterday when I made it again it actually came out of the over like it was going to be perfect and as it was cooling it sunk in again.
Oh no! I wonder why that happens! Are your ingredients fresh? Sometimes when my flour, baking powder, or soda is older….I have that problem too! So sorry to hear that!
How many points per serving on new plan?
I am not positive as I don’t know a lot about points, but from what I researched, it is about 4 points per serving!
It sticks to pans and crumbkes. Can’t get to release from pan. What do you recommend.
Oh no! Are you spraying or greasing the pan first? If so, try greasing AND flouring the pan. I had some older pans a few years back where the non stick lining wore off, I had to grease and flour them and it released perfectly! Try that and let me know!!
