- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325

- Add in the mashed banana, eggs and milk, whisking until combined.
- Stir in the vanilla, salt, baking soda and cinnamon.
- Next add the flour, and stir with a spoon until just combined. If you are using any mix ins, add them now.
- Pour the banana mixture into the greased loaf pan, and sprinkle the top with more cinnamon. You can zig zag a knife through the top to create a fun zig zag if you want!
- Bake the banana bread for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool for about 10 minutes in the pan.
- Remove from the pan, and let the banana bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
