Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Turn your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted ½ cup butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top.
- Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover the loaf with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Make Topping: While baking, mix ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Add Topping: When the bread is warm, brush the top with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the loaf.
- Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then move to a wire rack.
