Description
This Buttery Snickerdoodle Bread is a cozy, cinnamon-swirled quick bread that brings all the nostalgic charm of your favorite cookie into a moist, buttery loaf. Perfect with coffee, as dessert, or even for gifting, it’s easy to make and even easier to love.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar mix (for layering and topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a mixer (about 2–3 minutes).
4. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and sour cream (or yogurt); mix until smooth.
5. Gradually mix in dry ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
6. Pour half the batter into loaf pan. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mix. Add remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar.
7. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter—stop as soon as ingredients are combined for a tender crumb.
Greek yogurt is a great swap if you’re out of sour cream.
For an added twist, swirl a bit of cream cheese filling into the middle before baking.
