Banana and Coconut Loaf
This is a such a great way to use up those leftover bananas and turn them into such a delicious snack.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup oil (canola, rice bran or olive)
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup (can use less if you prefer)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup banana mashed , (approx. 2 large bananas)
- ¼ cup unsweetened natural yoghurt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon and ½ teaspoon mixed spice (or 1 teaspoon of either if you don't have both)
- ½ cup high-grade wholemeal flour (or alternative flour of your choice)
- 1¼ cups rolled oats
- ⅓ cup desiccated coconut
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170ºC. Grease a 12cm x 20cm loaf pan
- Place oil, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, banana and yoghurt in a food processor and blend.
- Add remaining ingredients to food processor and blend until combined.
- Pour mixture into greased loaf tin and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon or mixed spice. Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. If it needs longer, cover loaf with foil so the top doesn't burn.
- Let loaf cool in pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool, then slice.

Although I’m not a qualified chef I do like to pretend I’m on Master Chef. I source the recipes from the stated source (not sauce) and make them taking the photo of the meal I produce for myself.
