-
In a bowl either whisk or beat with a wooden spoon, the sunflower oil, caster sugar, vanilla extract and eggs thick.
-
In a separate bowl mash the bananas until nearly all the big chunks are well mashed, a couple of big chunks are fine, they add some texture to the loaf.
-
Stir the mashed banana into the egg mixture.
-
Sift the bicarb, cinnamon, flour and xanthan gum to the egg and banana mix and fold in until well combined.
-
Grease a 2lb loaf tin and pour in the mixture. Place in the oven on gas mark 4/180c for around 45 minutes. The loaf will brown well but the mix won't be cooked through in the middle, lower the oven temperature to gas mark 2/150c and cook for a further 45-50 mins until fully cooked through. (Best way to check if cooked is to push a knife or skewer into the middle and see if it comes out mostly clean)
