Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cinnamon chips
- 1 tbsp cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This will ensure that the leavening agents are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense bread.
- Gently fold in the cinnamon chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
- In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle it evenly over the top of the batter in the loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the snickerdoodle bread and serve. Enjoy the delicious flavors of cinnamon and sweetness!
Tips
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: Baking is a science, so be sure to measure your flour and sugar accurately for the best results. Use a kitchen scale if possible, or fluff up the flour before spooning it into your measuring cup.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: For a smoother batter, ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This will help create a light and fluffy texture in your bread.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a dense loaf, so be gentle!
- Cinnamon Chips: If you can’t find cinnamon chips, you can substitute with regular chocolate chips or even finely chopped cinnamon candies for a different twist.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your bread around the 50-minute mark. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cooling Time: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps maintain its shape and prevents it from becoming soggy.
- Storage: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for a quick treat later on!
