What Makes This Snickerdoodle Bread So Buttery and Delicious?

It all comes down to the rich butter base, balanced by a sweet cinnamon sugar mix that creates that signature swirl. Plus, sour cream is added for extra moisture and flavor. The key is layering the cinnamon mixture throughout so each slice is filled with cozy, spiced ribbons.

Ingredients for the Buttery Snickerdoodle Bread

All-Purpose Flour – Forms the structure of the bread while staying light and fluffy.

Granulated Sugar – Provides sweetness and helps the crust develop its golden texture.

Unsalted Butter – Essential for that rich, buttery flavor and soft texture.

Eggs – Help bind the ingredients and add structure.

Sour Cream – Adds moisture and a subtle tang that complements the cinnamon sugar.

Vanilla Extract – Enhances the overall flavor profile.

Baking Powder + Baking Soda – Provide lift and create that tender crumb.

Salt – Balances the sweetness.

Cinnamon + Sugar (for swirl and topping) – The heart of snickerdoodle flavor with that classic spiced crunch.

How To Make the Buttery Snickerdoodle Bread

Step 1: Prepare the Pan and Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment for easy release.

Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mix

In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes 2-3 minutes.

Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

Step 5: Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6: Mix and Alternate

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream. Start and end with flour mixture. Stir just until combined – don’t overmix.

Step 7: Layer the Batter and Cinnamon Sugar

Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle a generous layer of cinnamon sugar. Add the rest of the batter and top with remaining cinnamon sugar.

Step 8: Bake

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Serving and Storing Your Buttery Snickerdoodle Bread

Serve warm slices with a pat of butter or enjoy at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with hot coffee, chai, or a glass of milk.

To store, wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. It stays fresh at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze slices individually and thaw as needed.
