Snickerdoodle Bread

by 118 Comments

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!

  1. This sounds delicious. What size pans would I use to make larger loaves and how long would I cook them?

  2. 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 🙂

  6. Without cream of tartar, it’s just cinnamon bread! Add 1/2 teaspoon with the dry ingredients and you’ve got Snickerdoodle Bread Extraordinaire!!

  29. Cinnamon chips? Not sure my store carries those. Do you prefer the cinnamon chips or choc chips? Thanks!

  31. 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!

  34. 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.

  39. 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!

  41. I added chopped dates and walnuts and skipped the sour cream and made it as snickerdoodle bars. Yummy

  47. 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!

  51. 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!

  53. 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.

  61. 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!

  63. i go to weight watchers. can you provide the nutrtional information so i can figure the points. thanks

  65. Love snicker doodles, will try this Tonite,. Also looking for a recipe for ginger snicker doodles cookies.

  69. How does this bread freeze? I usuall bake loaves in fall and freeze. Would this one be ok for that?

  70. Very well, I actually have a few mini loaves in my freezer right now because it is always nice to have available for company 🙂

  73. 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

  75. 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!

  76. 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!

  78. 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 🙂

  80. 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!!!

  85. I made this bread. So good!! But it didn’t raise at all. Is it suppose to raise or not?

  86. 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.

  90. 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!


  92. I used mini cinnamon chips and it was awesome! You must use cream of tarter to get the snickerdoodle taste!

  94. 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!


  95. 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.

  96. 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!

  97. 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.

  100. 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!!

  103. 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☹️

  104. 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!!


  113. 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.

  117. What do you think about adding a cinnamon or caramel swirl or even cheesecake? Instead of any of the child’s or raisins.

  118. 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!
