Tarty's Banana Bread

• 4 medium ripe bananas (800g), peeled and chopped
• ½ cup (125ml) light olive oil or vegetable oil
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1½ cups (260g) brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1½ cups (225g) self raising (self-raising) flour, sifted
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Place the bananas in a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Add the oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla and whisk to combine. Add the flour and cinnamon and mix to combine. Pour into a lightly greased 25cm x 11cm loaf pan (see note, below) lined with non-stick baking paper and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serves 8–10.
