Preheat oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F and spray a loaf tin lightly with oil and dust with flour
In a large bowl put all the dry ingredients
In another mix together all wet including the mashed banana
Add the wet to the dry bowl and mix until just combined, don't over mix
Bake for 60 - 70 minutes. If the top is browning too quickly cover loosely with foil. Bake until a skewer inserted in the middle comes away clean
Let tin rest for 5 minutes before turning out the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely
Slice thickly and enjoy spread with some butter or chocolate spread.
You can add chopped fruit, nuts or chocolate chips to this recipe for a variation, or adding cocoa powder is also delicious for chocolate banana loaf. Simply replace 3 tbsp flour with cocoa. My kids like chopped glacé cherries in theirs
