I topped mine with some homemade cream cheese icing be cinnamon! Also, I agree with others that it was a bit dry so if I make again I will definitely add some yogurt

These came out really, really well! I would replace the oil for coconut oil and it still tastes great! Also, definitely add yogurt for moisture. My last tip would be to sprinkle in a little more spice, for it can be a tiny bit bland if you don’t. When I did all of this, the bread was 10/10! Hope this helps! (:

It was so good and moist! Definitely would make this again. Personally I would add some powdered sugar on top but otherwise delicious. I did mine for fifty minutes and it looked undercooked but it really wasn’t.

I think it’s very delicious. Good recipe but somehow need more moist. But not sure how to do it.
