Notes
For a more indulgent taste add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for a delightful crunch. If you prefer a creamier texture incorporate a swirl of cream cheese into the center before baking. The cinnamon sugar coating adds the perfect sweet and crunchy finish. Customize the recipe by experimenting with different spices or toppings. Enjoy it fresh from the oven but it also keeps well for a few days in an airtight container.
