Method:

a)     Take ripe or over ripe bananas (as they will give a better flavour for the product).

b)     Mash the bananas and add to the oil. Keep aside.

c)     Beat the eggs and the sugar till it becomes light and fluffy, as for a sponge.

d)     Meanwhile sift the flour and cornflour, add cinnamon powder, lightly crushed walnuts and baking soda.

e)     When the egg is ready first fold in the oil and banana mixture and then the flour mixture.

f)      Pour into loaf shaped moulds lined with brown paper.

g)     Bake at 180 C for about 1 hour or till it gets a dark and rich brown colour.

h)     Preferably refrigerate overnight before serving, as this allows the flavours to ripen.

Note: Baking soda is just added to reduce the acidity in the ripe bananas.
