1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 tsp. baking powder |
1/4 tsp. baking soda |
1/4 tsp. salt |
1 tsp. ground cinnamon (i used 1/2 tsp. and it was perfect as i find a full tsp. a little too much for my taste) |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled |
3 ripe large bananas, mashed well (about 1-1/2 cups) |
1 tsp. vanilla extract |
