- Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For an extra touch, serve slices toasted with a spread of cinnamon butter or cream cheese. You can also add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for added texture.
