What you’ll need to make this banana bread recipe

• Ripe bananas – 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 – For baking I prefer vegetable oil, you could also use melted butter if that’s your jam.
• Plain flour – 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
