Snickerdoodle Quick Bread

Snickerdoodles are a favorite cookie with our family, the light and soft sugar and cinnamon treat brings to mind summer treats and lemonade. One of the fun things about baking is finding new recipes for favorite tastes, so when I found a couple of new recipes for Snickerdoodle bread and Snickerdoodle muffins (next post to come), I knew they too would be favorites.
Last summer (June 17, 2011) I blogged about my favorite Snickerdoodle cookie recipe, and how it has been a favorite of my son's from 4-H days. When I made this Snickerdoodle quick bread for him, he thought is was just as good. The cinnamon chips add a sharp sweet taste. Besides, just saying the word "Snickerdoodle" is fun!
