The Best Banana Egg Cake

—

### Instructions

1. **Preheat the oven** to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small loaf pan or cake pan.

2. **Mash the bananas**: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth. If you like a bit of texture, you can leave a few chunks.

3. **Mix the wet ingredients**: In the same bowl, crack the eggs into the mashed bananas and whisk until fully combined. Stir in vanilla extract.

4. **Add the dry ingredients**: To the wet mixture, add flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Mix until just combined. If you’re adding optional ingredients like nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.

5. **Pour the batter** into the prepared pan, smoothing out the top.

6. **Bake for 25–30 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top.

7. **Cool and serve**: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
