Cinnamon Swirl Bread

I seriously love nothing more than cinnamon crunch or coffee cake or cinnamon swirl or whatever you want to call it muffins/bread/cake. I found this delicious recipe while preparing care packages to send to friends who are still in school. I knew immediately that I would have to double the recipe to keep some at home.
