Serves 10
Ingredients
4 very ripe bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 cup wholemeal flour
1 cup plain flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Method
Preheat oven to 160C (or 140C fan-forced). Grease and line an 11.5cm x 22cm (base measurements) loaf pan with baking paper.
Mash bananas in large bowl with a fork until smooth. Add eggs, oil, milk and vanilla and stir until combined. Sift flours, cinnamon, baking powder, bicarbonate and a pinch of salt over banana mixture (then tip in the flour kernels, if you like). Stir until combined.
Spoon into prepared pan and level top with a spatula. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve.
