What you’ll need to make this banana bread recipe

  • Ripe bananas â€“ the older the better, unless they’re completely gone off, then bin them!
  • Sugar – I prefer caster sugar, as it dissolves quicker
  • Eggs – Eggs supply stability and structure, as well as a tender texture. You’ll need 2 large eggs for this.
  • Oil â€“ For baking I prefer vegetable oil, you could also use melted butter if that’s your jam.
  • Plain flour â€“ just some normal flour for me thanks
  • Cinnamon – provides the best undertone to combine all the flavours together
  • Baking powder – will work together with the eggs to make the bread rise
  • Porridge oats – purely for decoration
  • Vanilla extract – to complete the flavour
