This quick bread is fluffy and soft and tastes like a snickerdoodle cookie in bread form. It’s an easy one-bowl recipe, no mixer required. The bread is sweet, full of cinnamon flavor and has a slight tanginess just like the cookie.
This is a fun and easy quick bread, perfect for a breakfast treat or afternoon snack. The bread is full of cinnamon flavor. It’s topped with a cinnamon sugar coating which creates a crunchy crust over the bread.
Snickerdoodle Bread highlights
- Everything (except for the topping) is mixed with a whisk and in one bowl for easy clean-up.
- The bread texture is similar to other quick breads in that it has a more cake-like texture. The bread is very moist and soft.
- The bread is flavored with cinnamon spice. You can also add cream of tartar to add a little bit of tangy flavor to the bread, just like with a classic snickerdoodle.
Ingredient Tips
- The cream of tartar is optional. It’s what gives snickerdoodle cookies their signature tang and it does add the same flavor to this bread. However, a lot of people don’t have cream of tartar on hand so you can omit it and it won’t really affect the recipe. Plus, the bread also has some tang from the sour cream.
- Sour cream can be substituted with greek yogurt. Either one will help make the cake moist and soft along with adding a little tanginess to the bread.
- Make sure to use superfine almond flour and not regular almond flour or almond meal.
Cinnamon Sugar Free Coating
Just like classic snickerdoodle cookies, the cake is finished with a cinnamon and “sugar” coating. I use erythritol granular because it mimics granulated sugar in texture, taste and appearance.
The coating is put on before the bread bakes so that it creates a sweet crust over the bread. If desired, you can also sprinkle some more on right after the bread is finished and while it is still warm.
If you love snickerdoodles I’ve also made keto snickerdoodle muffins, low carb snickerdoodle mug cake, and keto snickerdoodle cookies.

It turned out well. I’d never used erythritol before and it doesn’t taste exactly like sugar, but this is not bad and serves a sweet tooth well without all that sugar! Very, very close to the real thing.
We’re glad you liked it!
Not as sweet as I anticipated, but it is a good, dense loaf. Next time I’ll just up the sweetener.
Thanks for the recipe!
You can definitely add more sweetener if you prefer. Since this is supposed to be a bread suitable for a breakfast treat, I didn’t want to make it too sweet
I am going to try and bake the bread.
Thank you for the recipe
I hope you enjoy!
