Ingredients

(Serves 10)

2 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)

1½ cups almond flour

¼ cup desiccated coconut

2–3 tbsp stevia (to taste)

1 tsp vanilla essence

½ tsp baking soda

2 eggs, lightly beaten (or 2 tbsp extra milk for egg-free)

¼–⅓ cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy) — just enough for a thick, smooth batter

Pinch of salt

Method

1. Preheat oven to 170°C (fan-forced). Line a small loaf tin with baking paper.

2. Mash bananas until smooth.

3. Whisk in eggs (if using), vanilla, stevia, and milk.

4. Add almond flour, coconut, baking soda, and salt.

5. Fold gently until just combined, the batter should be thick yet pourable. Add a splash more milk if needed.

6. Pour into the loaf tin and smooth the top.

7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and just set (a few moist crumbs on a skewer are perfect).

8. Cool in the tin for 15–20 minutes before slicing — this keeps it beautifully soft and moist.
