🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
8. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle half over the batter in the pan.

10. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar on top and swirl it gently into the batter using a knife.
11. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top.
