Cinnamon Chip Snickerdoodle Bread

Cinnamon Chip Snickerdoodle Bread

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 ½ cups (1 package) Hershey’s cinnamon chips
  • 2 tablespoons flour (for coating chips)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for topping)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the bottoms of five mini loaf pans (5 ¾ x 3 ¼ x 2 ¼ inches) with a cooking spray that contains flour.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and 2 cups sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about two minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Prepare Cinnamon Chips: Toss the cinnamon chips with 2 tablespoons of flour to coat them evenly. This helps prevent the chips from sinking to the bottom of the batter. Gently fold the coated chips into the batter.
  7. Fill Pans and Top: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini loaf pans, filling each no more than two-thirds full to allow room for rising. Mix together the 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and sprinkle this mixture over the top of each loaf.
  8. Bake: Place the pans in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the loaves from the pans and place them on a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
