This is one of those coffee in the morning bread slathered with butter and warmed up a little it's the perfect way to start the morning.
The flavors that make you want more every time you take a bite.
This recipe also includes an alternative streusel topping you can also add before baking the bread.
The bread has the best aroma in the house while baking and you're going to want to cut into this before it even cools.
I really love this quick bread it's just so good you can't stop eating it.
