I PROMISE you will love this recipe – it is so good!
But, I must warn – cinnamon chips are only seasonal and can be found at most grocery stores during the holidays. Although few stores carry them the rest of the year, you can always order them online at the Hershey’s Store.
My advice – stock up and freeze the chips during the holidays. 
UPDATED:
NOTES FROM OTHER READERS:
-For a Gluten-Free version please visit Suburban Prairie Homemaker
-Can be made in 2 large loaf pans. Bake at 350 for about 60-70 minutes (until a toothpick inserted comes out clean).
-Cinnamon Chips are a seasonal item. You can find them at Hersheys.com online OR if you are in AZ, Albertson’s carries them (woo hoo!!)
-If you can’t find cinnamon chips, many readers have tried TOFFEE CHIPS or WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS and said they turned out great!!
-For a healthier version you can substitute the sour cream for greek vanilla yogurt.
-You can make these as muffins (makes about 2 dozen) – bake for about 20 minutes.
ENJOY!

It truly is divine!
Where would one find Cinnamon chips? I live in Santa Cruz Ca and cannot find them anywhere that I have looked. I have found several recipes lately that I really want to try that need these and I am becoming desperate
Help!
Hi Julie! Sorry you haven’t been able to find these. They should be in the baking aisle of your local grocery store, but it sounds like you’ve checked there. Have you also checked Walmart?
I think they’re a seasonal thing, so if you can’t find them at the store, you can order them online from Nifty Nut House. http://www.niftynuthouse.com/home.php. I just cleaned them out of 9 pounds of chips this afternoon.
So good to know. Thank you, Amanda!! Will stock up on them next time I see them.
You can also find them here ——http://www.hersheysstore.com/product_list.do?q=baking&promoCode=HSHPAYPCWEBMACSS
Thank you so much for the tip!! Glad they have them online too for everyone to get.
This bread looks great! Also, I buy my cinnamon chips from the awesome Prepared Pantry online when they’re 50% off. They’re DELICIOUS.
Thanks for the recipe!!!
Also, they’re not “seasonal” at prepared pantry, btw…I’ve purchased them throughout the year there.:)
Danielle recently posted..2012 Declutter and Organize Calendar
Good to know! Thanks, Danielle. Do they have a certain time they always put them on sale for 50% off?
They go on sale fairly often from what I’ve seen. I saw them on sale 2xs since Christmas I believe. Right now the 11 oz bag is 3.99, however, there’s shipping to calculate. I just am sure to purchase when there are other things I want that are also on sale so my shipping “worth it.”
I was able to find the cinnamon chips at Meier. They stock them year-round. Good luck!
Oooo…. I love Snickerdoodles! I once tried a recipe I found for Snickerdoodle muffins and they were a big flop. I’m super excited to try this. Thanks!!
Let me know if you try it out. It is seriously so DELISH!
This looks amazing! I bet it would make a great muffin recipe, too! I am going to try to make them gluten free for us. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe!
Let me know if you try them gluten-free. I would love to link it to my post for people to use.

This sounds like an amazing bread to bake. I’ve never tried cinnamon chips before. Do you like them?
Saw you at Saturday Seven Party.
Cinnamon chips are amazing!! Just finding out though that they are seasonal items at some stores. Although, they are seasonal you can find them at several online shops.

Have you made it in a full size loaf pan? If so, how much longer would you cook it for?
I haven’t made it in a full size loaf pan, but on Barbara Bakes, where I got the recipe she has a note that says:
Note: You can also make this in two 9×5 loaf pans. Bake at 350º for 60 to 70 minutes until a toothpick inserted into a crack in the center of the loaf comes clean.
Here’s the link in case: http://barbarabakes.com/2010/04/snickerdoodle-bread-for-great-american/
Sounds delicious – I think I”ll be making this TODAY!!
You must! It is so good. I would be making this too if I had cinnamon chips on hand!!

Thanks for the kind words, Mary, and for stopping by. I hope you can come back again! Have a great day! XO
We have been making this for years. Only we call it sour cream coffee cake and make it in an angel food cake pan.
We don’t add the cinnamon chips, instead we put half the batter in the pan, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top and
then the rest of the batter. I will have to try the cinnamon chips. I do have one question, why did you make the changes to the
recipe? I’m just curious.
You’ll have to send the recipe – sounds great!! I always make a few changes to recipes, just depending on what I like or what I think is good. For example, I don’t like a ton of sour cream so I decreased that but added more Cinnamon and Sugar cuz that’s my fav.
Mmmmmm!!!!! Featuring this at tonights par-tay, Kristyn!
jk!
PS: Do you ship to Yuma? Pretty sure I’d love some freshly baked snickerdoodle bread
XOXO
Thx, chica!! And maybe one of these days I’ll send you a loaf. Or better yet, you can just move back and I’ll bring you a loaf every month!!
Ha ha ha! Sounds good! XO
I just made this today, AMAZING! I could probably eat them all
Yay!! So glad you made it and loved it!!!
I wanted to make this tonight and forgot I don’t have bread pans. Would this work as muffins? Also could I skip the cinnamon chips?
Hi Kristyn,
Thank you SO much for sharing this recipe! I made these today as soon as I saw the recipe on Pinterest (I’m just a little obsessed with that site, hehe) and they were Delicious! I am posting them on my blog tonight and will definitely give you the credit for such a wonderful recipe. I can’t wait to try more recipes.
Thanks again,
Michelle
Yay!! So glad you were able to make it, and that you loved it!! Send me the link so I can check it out. Have a great day! XO
Is there a substitute for cinnamon chips? Can’t find them, anything else to add in?
Not that I know of. :/ I know several readers have said they have found the chips online.
Hey Lil’ Luna –
I found your recipe on Pinterest and couldn’t wait to try it. I seriously love snickerdoodle cookies, so I was excited to try the bread. It came out fine following your instructions. I couldn’t find the cinnamon chips either, so I bought Heath Bar toffee chips instead, and it came out great. The chocolate flavor is a nice addition, and the toffee is a complimentary flavor to the cinnamon sugar. Just a thought for your fans who can’t find the cinnamon chips.
Bonnie recently posted..What the Hell is a “Bib Card”?
Thanks for the suggestion, Bonnie. I know the cinnamon chips can be seasonal (you can find them online year long but I know people usually don’t want to have to wait for them). Toffee would be a great substitute – will have to try it out! Thanks again, and have a great day!
Sounds SUPER yummy!

This recipe is so delicious it’s dangerous. Really yummy. It would be great as a gift too. Sweet and special.
Yes it is!! I should come up with a printable to attach to it if you wrap it up and give it as a gift.
I’m really looking forward to making this recipe, yet when I was at the store today gathering the ingredients I didn’t find cinnamon chips. I asked the manager if they sold them…thinking and hoping I had overlooked them. He checked on it and said it was a seasonal product. This being almost March, he said they are in stock starting in October. What do you suggest in place of the cinnamon chips? Thanks so much!
~Shana
Hi Shana! Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, they are mostly a seasonal item, but there are several places to buy them online, including: http://www.hersheysstore.com/product_detail.do?q=7688&promoCode=HSHPAYPCWEBMACSS&kw={keyword} I’m going to have to stock up in the fall so I can have them around all year long.
Oh my goodness! I am a snickerdoodle fanatic….AND a cinnamon chip fanatic! And when I saw THIS recipe….I thought I might have died and gone to heaven….but no, that didn’t happen – until I ate it! So good! I couldn’t even wait for it to cool! I burned the roof of my mouth! haha! My hubby already things I hoard cinnamon chips….I hate to let my pantry get below a dozen bags….so he’s going to think I’m nuts when I buy even more so I can make this bread all.the.time! Fabulous recipe! Thank you…thank you…thank you!!!
Cinnamon chips are also not common in Calgary, AB. Can you suggest a substitution for them?
Thanks!
You can find them online, or I have had other readers who have used toffee chips instead.
This looks awesome! I can’t wait to try and make it!
Can you double this recipe and bake it in regular size loaf pans? It sounds so good! Snicker doodles are my favorite cookies. This sounds like a great alternative.
This looks AMAZING…and I can’t wait to checkout the GF version. Thanks so much!!

Printed this and can’t wait to get ingredients for it tomorrow.
Hello, this looks delicious!! I was just wondering where you got the cinnamon chips from? I went to HEB (grocery store in Texas) and could not find them. Thanks!
We got them at the local store but they are only a seasonal item. Hershey’s and other companies sell them online though.
i cannot wait to try this!! thank you for posting:)
Very yummy. It took longer than an hour to cook though maybe I did something wrong?
Hmmmm, not sure. Every oven is different. We did this at my mom’s and I know her oven seems hotter than mine. How much longer did you have to cook it for?
It looks great, but I don’t have mini loaf pans., only the regular-sized ones. If I use those, could I get two loaves and how long should I bake them? Thanks!
If you look on the website that I got the recipe from she tells you how long to bake for regular pans. The website is called Barbara Bakes.
Oh. My. Mouth! I’m drooling. Can NOT wait to make this. Now if only I could track down those cinnamon chips. I’ve never heard of them. Did you find them at a regular grocery store?
Hi Dawn! Thank you so much. Unfortunately, the chips are a seasonal item and can only be found during the holidays (Thanksgiving & Christmas). There are several places to get them online but I would recommend getting them at the HersheyStore.com
This is my husband’s favorite bread! He told me I MUST make this once a week! However, I don’t know if our waistlines would benefit from that. This bread is truely amazing! The last time I made it, I substituted honey vanilla greek yogurt for the sour cream because that was all I had on hand. I reduced the sugar since the greek yogurt was flavored. I couldn’t tell the difference, still delicious! Thank you!
What a great tip to use yogurt instead of sour cream. If you’re making it once a week that may help the waistlines – lol! SO glad you like it. I’m out of cinnamon chips and need to order some to have on hand so I can make it all the time, it’s so good! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a great day! XO
Hi! Cant wait to try these but the 3T of sugar and 3T of cinnamon is that tablespoons or teaspoons??
THanks!
Big T is tablespoons, small t is for teaspoons.
Let me know if you give it a try. 
I couldn’t find cinnamon chips, so I substituted white chocolate chips. It turned out FANTASTIC!
Oooooh, sounds delish!! Will need to try that out. Thanks! So glad you liked it. Happy Easter.
I have never made snickerdoodles personally, although I have tried store bought ones in the past. I want to make this bread for my family (and me!) and I had a question. I see this calls for 4 “mini loaf pans” and I was just wondering if you knew the exact size. As of now, I have a loaf pans that I have used for meatloaf, but I am not sure if this is a regular size? Thanks in advance for you help!
Nvm, I found some one-time-use mini loaf pans at the store! Now I can rock this recipe!
Sorry about that. Didn’t see your first comment in time to reply. Did you try it? If so, how was it? Would die for a slice right now.
No problem. The times didn’t show up exactly right anyways. I did try it, and it’s amazing! My mini loaf pans must have been smaller, so I made 5, and I had to cook them maybe 5 minutes longer, but sooo worth it! My family liked it, and I’m taking the rest to work tonight (so I don’t eat all of it!) Also, I saw the cinnamon chips were commented on a lot. I found mine at Hy-Vee, just in case anyone else asks about them.
Thanks Michel! SO glad you liked the bread. And I’ve never heard of Hy-Vee is that a local store by you?
Where would I find “Cinnamon chips”? I’ve looked in my local grocery stores but haven’t seen anything like it. Any suggestions?

Hi Jolene!! Unfortunately, the cinnamon chips are only seasonal items. BOO, I know!! You can find them at several online shops though including Hersheys.com Hope that helps.
how much flour? not in your recipe. thanks
Is it just me being blind, or is there no flour in the ingredient list? How much flour does it take? Or am I totally missing it somewhere – which wouldn’t surprise me, but I have looked a few times,,,,,
A few others didn’t see it either although I could see it on my side. Weird! Any who, it’s 2 1/2 cups flour
How much flour? I don’t see it on the ingredient list.
It’s 2 1/2 cups flour
I made these just Monday into muffins with the toffee chips and they are heavenly. They made 24 muffins and I cooked them for 20 minutes. I have to make more as I only have 4 muffins left and I am going to try butterscotch chips in these as I could not find the toffee at my local grocer.
Ooooh, good to know! I hope others can see this and know they can do it as a muffin form. Thank you for all the info!!
I’m in the middle of making this. Where is the flour? And in your ingredients you list 3TB of cinnamon but in the directions you show 3t. of cinnamon to mix with the sugar. is it tablespoons or teaspoons?
So sorry about that! Just edited the recipe this morning and apparently it was too early – I messed it up. It’s 3 TB sugar and 3 tsp. cinnamon.
I’ve been able to find the cinnamon chips at Meijer year round.
Is that a local store near you?
I just made these couldn’t get the cinnamon chip so I used butterscotch ones! It was amazing! I also made them into muffins. Tip I learned after the first batch use cupcake liners. They are not easy to get out of a well greased pan! Bake for 25 minutes. Perect portion control and great for teacher gifts. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe!
Great to know!! There were so many tips from readers that I may have to go back and add all those tips to this post. Thanks!!
I don’t have mini loaf pans, could I use two regular sized ones?
Yes, you can. You will have to bake them for about 60-70 minutes.
Wegmans sells the cinnamon chips year round!
