Instructions

Step 1

Line a 25 x 20cm traybake tin with baking parchment and heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip the sugar, bananas, oil and eggs into a large bowl and whisk them together. If your bananas are very ripe then you can use a balloon whisk for this, or use a fork to mash. Add the flours, cinnamon and baking powder and whisk the mixture until everything is just combined – don’t take too long over this bit as the baking powder will have started to activate. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using, and scoop the mixture into your tin. Bake for 30-40 mins or until the sponge is firm and springy to the touch and lightly browned on top. Cool in the tin.
