Cinnamon Bread Delight

I like baking dessert-type breads. Sometimes in the middle of the day while Taylor's taking a nap there's nothing better than curling up on the couch with a cup of coffee, a slice of sweet bread and a good book or magazine. It makes for some nice Mommy time. 

A favorite bread of mine to make is Cinnamon Bread Delight. I got the recipe from my amazing Aunt. Thanks Aunt Nancy! I still love traditional breads like Banana Nut Bread but I don't always have overripe bananas or nuts on hand. This bread is simple enough that everything is almost always in my cupboard or pantry. Another bonus with this bread is that it makes two loaves so it's easy to give to a nice neighbor, friend or you can freeze it for later.
