Snickerdoodle Bread

If you're a fan of Snickerdoodle cookies and quick breads, then this is the recipe for you! This moist bread is bursting with cinnamon and sugar, both inside and out.

Believe it or not, this was the very first Pinterest recipe that I ever tried, and boy was it a winner! I have been making this bread for over five years now, and it is the perfect homemade gift. Most recipients are intrigued by the unique name/flavor and will later be asking for you to share the recipe!

Cinnamon chips are often a seasonal product that can only be found in grocery stores during the holidays. If your local store doesn't carry them year-round, you can always order them online!

3. Cream butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until fluffy. Add eggs and mix well. Stir in vanilla and sour cream.
4. Add flour and baking powder to wet ingredients. Mix until combined. Fold cinnamon chips into batter.
5. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.
6. Stir together topping ingredients. Sprinkle evenly over batter in each loaf pan.
