Here is how you make REAL Banana Loaf Bread / Muffins:

My family's breakfast favourite. Easy to make. Handy, ready to go, not too sweet like store bought banana loaves...and very very filling. No special equipement needed. Mix things together, mash banana, fold in flour and the batter's done!I usually make 6 large muffins and a small loaf pan with this recipe (Making about 9-10 servings). 9 servings is 301 cal per serving. For 12 normal sized muffins servings, each muffin is 225cal per serving, For a treat...I also add a handful (50g) of chopped valrhona 85% dark chocolate chips into the muffins for something special...that's totally optional as it does add to the calories.Makes:12 - normal sized muffins OR6 - oversized large muffins OR1 - 9x5x3 loaf pans OR2 - small loaf pansWhatever you use, spray baking pans with vegetable cooking spray coated with fine, dry breadcrumbs or a dusting of flour. Baking times vary with what you use...the time listed below is for a ONE 9x5x3 loaf.1. Set a rack in the middle level of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.2. Stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg to break them up, then whisk in the sugar and the brown sugar. Whisk in the butter and vanilla, followed by the mashed bananas.4. Sift the flour mixture over the banana mixture and thoroughly fold it in. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.5. Bake the cake for about 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.6.
