Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Butter a 23 x 13 cm (9 x 5 in) loaf pan and line the base with baking paper.

2. 2

   Mash the bananas in a large bowl with a fork until mostly smooth.

3. 3

   Stir in the melted butter, then the sugar, egg and vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon and salt over the mixture and stir well.

5. 5

   Add the flour and fold just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.

6. 6

   Scrape the batter into the pan and level the top.

7. 7

   Bake until well risen and a skewer in the centre comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, 55-65 min. Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too fast.

8. 8

   Leave the loaf in its pan for 10 min. Lift it onto a wire rack and let it cool before slicing.
