Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet baking soda
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
4 very ripe bananas
100 g pecans or other nuts

Instructions

1
Mix the flour, baking soda, sugar and spices.
2
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas, add the eggs and oil and mix into a smooth batter.
3
Combine the dry and wet ingredients until just mixed, then fold in the nuts.
4
Pour the batter into a loaf pan.
5
Slice a reserved banana in half lengthwise and lay it on top of the batter.
6
Bake at 180°C for about 25 minutes. Test like a cake — a toothpick in the center that comes out dry means it's time to dig in.
