- Evenly divide the batter between the two loaf pans and sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
- Bake for 55 minutes to one hour.
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean and the bread should be loosening from the sides of the pan.

Notes
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: Mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar to 2 tsp of cinnamon. Use to dust the loaf pans and reserve enough to sprinkle over the top of each loaf before baking.
If you do not have instant pudding on hand, you can omit, but it does give the bread a delicious flavor and moistness.
This is the basic recipe but you can get creative and toss in your favorite add ins. Chocolate Chips, Cinnamon Chips, raisins, and nuts are all great additions. Just add 1 cup to your batter and combine.
