Sugared Vanilla Snickerdoodle Bread

My favorite childhood cookie was not a classic Chocolate Chip. 

Nope – I loved the tangy, lightly sweet Snickerdoodle. Not the simple cinnamon cookie so many think it is – a true Snickerdoodle gets that tang from an essential ingredient that not everyone uses – cream of tartar.

I love that unique snickerdoodle flavor so much, I transformed that flavor into a Snickerdoodle Smoothie. Unusual, but so tasty.

Gluten Free Baking

Like most of the recipes I make, this soft and fluffy Sugared Vanilla Snickerdoodle Bread loaf is gloriously gluten free! If you want to make this and do not need to be gluten free, a regular all purpose flour will work in place of the gluten free all purpose blend. 

If you are gluten free? No need for a pantry full of flours – one does the trick with this recipe! There is a note about the flour – I have a suggestion and a preference for cake and quick bread recipes. 

My flour of choice is local to me Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour. It works especially well in recipes like this one – cakes and quick breads – because the ingredient list does not include gums. This is my go to for most gluten free baking.

Those One to One straight sub type flours (and other flours with gums) work GREAT for cookies. Perfectly crisp or gloriously chewy cookies. For cakes and breads, the gums tend to result in a… well… GUMMY texture! That is my opinion from many of my baking experiences, anyway.

(see vegan breakfast recipe options here.)

This Sugared Vanilla Snickerdoodle Bread is great as is. For a festive finish, I do like to drizzle a bit of a vanilla glaze over the top, and sometimes follow that up with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

You can do one, or either, or both! Or none! 

another fun Bakers Tip: Even if you don’t plan to serve it then, make a loaf right before a party or having guests over. Your kitchen smells so good.

even another tip? Make a second loaf and French Toast it! 

Seriously – a soft, fluffy cake version of a Snickerdoodle cookie. Mmm.
