How To Make Snickerdoodle Loaf

By Eva Reynolds at University of Rochester

Maybe you’ve made one banana bread too many. Maybe you don’t even like bananas. Maybe you’re a cinnamon fiend that thinks cinnamon-raisin bread just doesn’t have enough of that warm spice. Or maybe... you want to bake something unexpected for your next brunch or afternoon tea. Whatever the reason, if you’re hankering for a new way to sweeten your day, look no further than this Snickerdoodle loaf. It gives you the scrumptious cinnamon-sugariness of snickerdoodles without the hassle of rolling out cookies. What’s more, unlike the classic cookies, this bread makes a perfectly acceptable breakfast. For a truly saccharine treat, though, try using it to bake Cinnamon Brown Sugar Bread Pudding.
