- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, mix mashed bananas, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
