Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut a piece of parchment paper the size of the loaf pan (8 1/2 inches x 4 1/2 inches, a standard bread pan) so it lays over the wider part of the pan from right to left. Lightly oil the other two sides of the pan not covered in parchment.

Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

⅓ cup brown sugar, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Layer the batter and swirl mixture. starting with ⅓ of the batter in the bottom of the prepared pan. Add ⅓ of the cinnamon mixture to the batter, enough to cover the batter. Pour another ⅓ of the batter into the pan carefully smoothing it out, then layer ⅓ of the swirl mixture on top. Add the remaining batter smoothing it out carefully, then top with the remaining cinnamon mixture.

Let the bread cool for 10-15 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan. Cool the bread completely on a wire rack before slicing, then enjoy!
