In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients: 2 cups flour, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, 0.5 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1.33 cups brown sugar.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon to the dry mixture.

In another bowl, combine wet ingredients: 2 eggs, 0.5 cups vegetable oil, 0.5 cups milk, and 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.

Pour the batter into a lined bread pan with parchment paper.

Bake in the oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
