- 1½ cups (7 ½ oz/ 213g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- ¾ cup (2¼oz/64g) rolled oats (preferably quick-cooking)
- ⅔ cup (5oz/142g) sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt

- ⅓ cup (21/2floz/71ml) milk
- ¼ cup (2floz/57ml) flavorless oil (canola, vegetable, sunflower oil)
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 medium bananas
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt)
-
In a large bowl, finely mash the bananas with a fork. Whisk in eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla.
-
Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix by hand just until combined. Do not over mix as this can make the banana bread tough.
-
Pour the banana bread batter into the pan and bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean. Enjoy!
