Surprise Snickerdoodle Bread

Ingredients:

• 2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1-3/4 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 pkg. Hershey's cinnamon chips
• 2 Tbsp. flour

Topping:

• 2 Tbsp. sugar
• 2 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.

Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl. In another bowl, cream butter, 1-3/4 cups sugar, salt, and cinnamon until fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and sour cream and mix well. Add flour mixture stirring to combined only.

Coat the cinnamon chips with 2 Tbsp. of flour.

Spoon batter into loaf pans. Using a knife, swirl the cinnamon chips into the batter.

Combine 2 Tbsp. sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon and sprinkle over top of batter in the pans.

Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.

Let cool 5-10 minutes before removing from pans.

Wonderful with hot tea, coffee, or just plain ol' cold milk :)

Source: I received this from one of the many baking and cooking blogs I subscribe to. When I made it, it was too sweet for my tastes so I tweaked the original recipe a bit by reducing the sugar, cinnamon chips, and swirled the chips into the batter to make it look prettier.
