  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then add to the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined.

  5. Evenly pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans and smooth the tops.
  6. Mix together sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping and sprinkle over the batter.
