Snickerdoodle Quick Bread (2024)

You’re going to love this snickerdoodle quick bread recipe. A soft and fluffy loaf of bread packed with sweet cinnamon sugar in every slice.

This snickerdoodle quick bread is pure heaven! I adapted it from my Cherry Almond Quick Bread recipe and it just works! I used non-fat Greek yogurt per my original recipe, but I did alter my flour; I used one cup all-purpose flour and one cup of white whole wheat flour. You could solely use all-purpose flour and your snickerdoodle quick bread would still turn out perfectly.

To get a swirling effect, add your quick bread batter to your bread pan one layer at a time. Sprinkle your cinnamon sugar mixture in between layers. Use a long skewer to carefully swirl the cinnamon throughout the snickerdoodle loaf. I took the cinnamon flavor in this loaf even further by topping my bread with a very simple streusel made from flour, cinnamon, butter, and brown sugar.

This easy quick bread recipe has lots of cinnamon sugar flavor that isn’t overpowering. The texture of the loaf is soft and tender; like cake for breakfast but better! It tastes wholesome and delicious. You’re going to love this recipe for snickerdoodle bread!

What is Quick Bread?

Quick breads typically do not contain yeast. This means you will not have to allow the bread to rise; hence the name quick bread. They can be mixed by hand in one bowl, poured, and then baked. While bake times are often just under an hour the whole process from start to finish should not take you much longer than that. This, coupled with the fact that quick breads are often sweet or fruity makes them so appealing.

FAQs

How long is snickerdoodle bread good for?

this bread can be kept well wrapped in an airtight container or in a Ziploc gallon-sized baggie for up to a week. For best results eat within 2 or 3 days. I do not recommend storing the bread in the fridge as the cold air may cause it to dry out more quickly. You could also freeze the bread for up to 3 months.

Can I make mini loaves of this snickerdoodle bread recipe?

Yes! You can take this easy snickerdoodle bread and make 2 mini loaves instead of one big one if desired. If you do this please make sure to check the doneness of the bread in about half the time and adjust from there as a smaller loaf will cook more quickly than a larger one.

Can I use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, if you do not have Greek yogurt on hand you can swap it out for sour cream instead. the tastes and richness levels will be the same but Greek yogurt is usually a bit healthier. I do not recommend swapping Greek yogurt out for regular plain yogurt as the moisture content in those yogurts is too high and will cause the bread to not turn out correctly.
