Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 baking loaf pan and line with parchment paper (where it hangs over the edges) for easy bread removal. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
- In large bowl, whisk together the bananas, vegetable oil, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in the flour mixture, until there are no lumps. Do not over stir the batter, just stir until the batter is combined.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the top with optional brown sugar.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Around the halfway baking point, loosely tent the loaf pan with foil to prevent the bread from over browning on top.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing from loaf pan. Slice and serve warm, or allow to cool completely before serving!
