All-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder are staples found in the baking aisle of any local grocery store like Loblaws, Sobeys, or Metro. Unsalted butter and milk are easily accessible in the dairy refrigerated section. Fresh bananas are available year-round in the produce department. For the topping, check the spice aisle for high-quality ground cinnamon.

- Pour the mixture into a greased baking pan that has been lightly dusted with flour
- Arrange the banana slices evenly across the top of the batter
