- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

- For a spicier loaf, increase the cinnamon or add a pinch of ground cloves.
- For a deeper flavor, substitute brown sugar for white sugar.
- Optional add-ins include raisins or chocolate chips for added texture and taste.
