Heat the oven
to 180°C (350°F, Gas 4).
Take 2 loaf tins,
or a couple of bun tins and wipe with butter, then sprinkle
with flour. (Or line with foil)
Sift the flour,
baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Make
a well in the centre.
In a medium bowl,
beat the eggs until just mixed. Add the oil, sugars, vanilla,
lemon juice, and mashed bananas.
Pour three-quarters
of the banana mixture into the well in the flour, and
stir with a rubber spatula.
Gradually draw
in the dry ingredients, adding the remaining banana mixture,
and stirring to make a smooth batter.
TAKE CARE: Do not overstir the batter or the bread will
be heavy.
Spoon the batter
into the prepared tins. The tins should be about half
full.
Bake the loaves
in the heated oven until the loaves start to shrink from
the sides of the tins and a metal skewer inserted in the
centre comes out clean, 40-60 minutes.
Let the loaves
cool, then you can eat!
