All about Cinnamon Chip Bread
This Cinnamon Chip Bread is the perfect bread to make for a special breakfast or brunch treat. It makes amazing French toast, French toast casserole, or just the perfect toast for your breakfast plate. We have tried many recipes to find the perfect bread with good cinnamon flavor and found that cinnamon chips are the key ingredient. They add the perfect amount of cinnamon goodness throughout the bread!
Cinnamon chips can be a little hard to find but usually around fall or winter you are able to find them with the other baking chips on the baking aisle. There are many different brands but the ones we have found are the Hershey’s brand. You can also find these chips online in different marketplaces if you have a hard time finding them in the store.
This bread is so soft and tender. You can gently brush the loaf with a little butter right out of the oven if you like a softer crust. This bread has the perfect amount of sweetness but isn’t overly sweet. It is just the perfect bread with a cinnamon kiss throughout the bread. Do yourself a favor and make this bread today!
