You can replace the Penzey's pie spice with cinnamon, but if you can get some, the pie spice adds something extra special, and I highly recommend it.
1 3/4 cups (8.75 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup (8.75 ounces) granulated white sugar
2 teaspoons (8 grams) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) salt
1/4 teaspoon Penzey's pie spice or cinnamon
2 large (100 grams) eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup (96 grams) vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups (375 grams) mashed bananas (about 3 large ripe bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pie spice or cinnamon. Add mashed bananas, eggs, oil, and vanilla and fold together with a spatula just until combined.
Spread batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 25 minutes, then (optional) insert a leave in probe thermometer set for 205 degrees F (200 degrees if you're at high altitude). Bake until the thermometer alarm goes off, about 25 to 35 minutes longer. If you don't have a thermometer, bake until the top feels firm and set when touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 to 65 minutes baking time.
Use the parchment to help remove the loaf from the pan and let cool at least 30 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
