  • 1
    Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease and line a 10 x 20cm loaf pan.
  • 2
    Sift flour and cinnamon together into a large mixing bowl. Stir in sugar.

    In a large jug, combine banana, butter, eggs, milk and vanilla. Using a wooden spoon, lightly mix banana mixture into flour mixture until just combined.

Notes

This loaf freezes well whole or in slices. Place slices straight from the freezer into the lunchbox. It will defrost by lunchtime and help to keep your lunchbox cool.
