• 3

  Add the eggs to the mixer one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and bananas and beat to combine.

  In a small mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. With the stand mixer running on its lowest speed, add the flour mixture to the mixer a little at a time, until it's all just combined. Stir in the cinnamon chips.

  Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to even it out in the pan. Slide into the oven and cook for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleanly.
