  • In large bowl whisk dry ingredients. In a small bowl whisk together mashed banana, egg, milk, olive oil, vanilla and lemon zest.
  • Create well in dry ingredients, pour liquid ingredients into well mix once to incorporate. Add remaining ingredients and stir until just combined and moistened (batter should have lumps in it!)
