Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add this dry mixture to first mixture along with pudding mix, milk and vanilla. Mix well till a batter is formed.
Spray two large loaf pans with Pam, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Pour half of the batter into each pan. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top of each loaf, and bake for 45 minutes.
