Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan) and butter a loaf tin.
Mash the very ripe bananas with a fork into a coarse purée.
Whisk the eggs with the sugar for 2 minutes until the mixture pales and almost doubles in volume.
Add the melted, slightly cooled butter and the scraped seeds of the vanilla pod, and mix.
Fold in the banana purée, then add the sifted flour, baking powder and cinnamon, mixing gently with a spatula until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 40-45 minutes, until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes in the tin before turning out onto a rack and letting it cool completely.
