- Add in the Greek Yogurt and vanilla extract and whisk until it’s completely smooth.56 grams Greek Yogurt, 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract

- Spread half the batter into the prepared pan, top with cinnamon sugar followed by the other half of the batter.
- Top with a sprinkle of sugar, if desired, and pipe some butter in the center (to create a little crack - optional) and bake for about 60 minutes. I do half on convection and have on conventional cuz my oven is too hot on the bottom.
