  2. In a large bowl stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together.

  3. In a seperate bowl mash the banana with a fork until very little lumps left.

  4. Mix in the egg, oil and vanilla extract into the bananas.

  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the mashed banana mix using a fork. Do not over mix, just mix it gently. Spoon into a lined 9x5 loaf tin.

  6. Bake for 45- 50 minutes until the loaf is golden brown and springs back when pressed gently with your finger. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out on to a wire rack.
