Cinnamon Swirl
Mix melted butter, sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until a thick syrup. Fill the pan with half of the batter and spread evenly. Drizzle half of the cinnamon swirl to the top of the batter and use a knife to swirl it in. Top evenly with the remaining batter and then drizzle on the rest of the cinnamon swirl and swirl in with a knife.
