Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). ¹ Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
5. Pour into Pan: Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
7. Make Topping: While bread bakes, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
8. Add Topping: Once bread is out of the oven and still warm, brush the top with melted butter and generously sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
9. Cool and Serve: Let bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Glaze: For an extra touch, drizzle the cooled bread with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
• Spices: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the dry ingredients for added warmth.
• Nuts: Stir in chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for extra texture.
