Cinnamon Chip Bread Recipe

I am so excited to share this Cinnamon Chip Bread recipe with you! I love the Cinnaburst bread from Great Harvest, but the closest store is about an hour away. So, I’ve been trying to find a good substitute for a long time.

I’ve tried a lot of recipes, and I can definitely say that this is my favorite. Along the way, I experimented with using homemade cinnamon chunks, which are great in some recipes, but they didn’t pack the punch of cinnamon flavor that I was looking for.

The solution was something that I already had in my cabinets – cinnamon chips. I was a little nervous about how they would work, but they add the perfect little bits of cinnamon-y goodness throughout the bread.

And the bread! The bread is soft and tender! You can gently brush the loaf with a little butter right out of the oven if you like a softer crust. Do yourself a favor, and make this bread!
