This snickerdoodle bread is rich, dense, moist, and perfectly spiced with cinnamon and fall spices. While the inside is tender, the outside is crispy with cinnamon sugar. Perfect fall/winter quick bread.
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan for a large loaf, or two 9x5 loaf pans for two smaller loaves.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and dry spices. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2-3 min. Add eggs, and mix well. Add vanilla and yogurt, mixing to incorporated fully. Gradually add dry flour mixture into the batter, folding with rubber spatula until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Gently stir cinnamon chips into the batter.
Grease a 9x5 loaf pan(s). Combine sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
If doing single large loaf, fill with batter leaving 1 inch at the top. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake 60-70 minutes or until toothpick comes out with few tender crumbs attached. There will probably be a bit of leftover batter; you can make muffins (bake about 20 min.) or a few mini loaves and adjust your baking time.
If doing two smaller 9x5 loaves, divide batter between both pans, and adjust bake time (approx. 35-45 min, or until toothpick comes out with tender crumbs attached.)
Allow bread to cool in pans for awhile, and carefully transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.
