  • 3 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 and 1/2 cups flour

For the Frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars. Beat in banana, eggs, vanilla and milk.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients along with the oatmeal to the wet and stir just until combined.
