This was excellent! I made it first exactly as directed and taking advice from previous reviewers regarding mixing the wet and dry ingredients separately and doubling the topping. That added more topping, but I don't think it was necessarily an improvement because the bread itself was delicious even without the topping. I made this to give to our neighbors for Christmas, but after it make my kitchen smell so good, I decided to mix a second loaf to keep. By the second loaf, I was busy and forgot to do a couple things. The first time, I mixed the dry and wet ingredients separately and they blended perfectly when I combined the wet and dry. But the second time, I was just on a roll dumping stuff in and mixed it all in one bowl without thinking. This made it very lumpy. I also forgot to grease the pan the second go 'round, and even though I used a silicone pan, it did stick and came out with a piece missing. So as long as you mix the dry and wet ingredients separately, and don't forget to grease your pan, you will do great! I am thinking maybe a few others said this was bland because they expected a sweet and gooey cinnamon roll texture? Not sure what their expectations were, but this has more of a coffee cake or banana bread texture, and it was perfectly sweet. I don't think it needed any more. I may try it with chopped apples and/or pecans in the future for a change. My kids love cinnamon bread that we buy at the grocery, but no need to buy that anymore. I will b
