Simple, easy to make and deliciously moist and flavorful. It also cuts a dream. I confess I like mine warm and spread with butter, but this is great even toasted! I love the addition of the rolled oats on the top.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350*F/ 180*C/gas mark 4. Lightly spray a 9-inch non-stick loaf tin with cooking spray. Set aside. (I also like to line mine with paper so that I can lift the finished loaf out.)
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and salt.
In a separate bowl, using a hand whisk, mix together sugars, eggs, milk, vanilla and butter or oil, then stir in the mashed banana until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and quickly stir, using a spatula, just until combined.
