Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Always leave a bit hanging over the edge as it makes it easier to remove.

Step 2

Next, place the mashed bananas in a bowl. Dump in the eggs, butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and mix to combine.

Step 3

Add in the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and mix just until combined. The key here is not to over mix.

Step 4

Pour banana mixture into the pan and top with the final banana, cut side up.

Step 5

Bake for 1 hour or until you can poke with a skewer and it comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then remove totally and let cool fully on a rack. Now dive in!
