Add half of the batter to prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon mixture. Top with remaining batter and cinnamon mixture.

Use a butterknife to make one quick swirl through the batter to give your bread a marbled look.

Bake for 60 to 67 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cover with foil halfway through if top browns too quickly.

Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to serve.

Can use pecans instead of walnuts or omit nuts entirely.

Cover with foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning.
