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
