• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tbsp cinnamon

Crisp topping:

• 1/3 cup coconut sugar

Directions:

4. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, ensuring it’s spread evenly.
5. Sprinkle a mixture of coconut sugar and cinnamon over the top of the batter for added flavor and texture.
6. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
