In a large mixing bowl, add ingredients as listed.
Grease two large loaf pans.
Dust the greased pans with half of the sugar-cinnamon mixture of ½ cup sugar and 1½ teaspoon cinnamon.
Pour the batter evenly into loaf or cake pans and sprinkle the remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture on the top.
Bake for one hour or until the bread loosens evenly from the sides and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
ENJOY!
Notes
Here are a few fun twists: add up to one cup of any combination of dried fruit and/or nuts: raisins and chopped walnuts, or dates and chopped pecans. Chocolate chips are always a big hit!
