Notes
- For dairy-free option, you can use 1/4 cup of oil instead of melted butter. I use a 4”x8” loaf pan. I personally think half a cup of sugar provides enough sweetness for the bread. Consuming less sugar will make our body happier :). If you want more or less spice aroma, you can increase or reduce cinnamon powder and nutmeg powder by 1/4 teaspoon each.
