Instructions

- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

- Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter on top of the brown sugar layer and smooth it out.
- Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture over the top of the bread batter.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
