Directions

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare an 8 by 4 by 2 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. 2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
  3. 3. In a separate bowl combine the egg, bananas, sugar, cooking oil and lemon zest. Add the egg mixture all at once to the dry mixture; stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in nuts and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  4. 4. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. 5. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove loaf from pan; let cool completely on rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing.

    Bananas can be frozen for up to six months. You can wrap bananas in clingfilm, still in their skins and use later to make breads, pies, cakes etc. It is normal for the peel to darken and the texture to change.
