In a medium-sized bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Add flour mixture to egg mixture and stir until combined.

Stir in chopped pecans, if desired.

Divide batter evenly between 2 standard-sized loaf pans (9" x 5" x 3") that have been sprayed with cooking oil spray.
