Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper for easy removal.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well mixed.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the bread is baking, melt the butter for topping in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.

Once baked, remove from oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan, brush the top with melted butter, then immediately sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the top and sides if desired.

Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
