Snickerdoodle Butterscotch Bread

The journey to create a snickerdoodle loaf took an unexpected turn when the search for cinnamon chips proved to be a challenge. As a Canadian baker, I was shocked to find these elusive morsels priced at an astonishing $40-50 on Amazon! Faced with this obstacle, I decided to pivot and use the butterscotch chips I had on hand, leading to the creation of a Snickerdoodle Butterscotch Bread that promised to be even more delectable than the original concept.

The result was nothing short of perfection. This loaf bakes beautifully, rising to impressive heights that might initially cause alarm but ultimately deliver an abundance of deliciousness. For those who shy away from banana-based recipes, this loaf is a game-changer. It offers a delightful alternative that combines the classic snickerdoodle flavor with the rich sweetness of butterscotch, creating a treat that’s sure to satisfy even the most discerning palates.
