My new favourite banana bread recipe - a slightly more nutritious banana, passionfruit & coconut loaf. See Cook's Notes above before cooking. Adapted from Cookie & Kate
Author: Claudia Brick
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil , melted
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (2 large) + 1 extra banana to decorate
  • 1/4 cup passionfruit pulp
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup plain flour (or buckwheat flour to make gluten-free)
  • 3/4 cup almond meal
  • 3/4 cup dessicated coconut
  • 2 teaspoons coconut sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. If your bananas aren’t very spotty/black, follow instructions above in Cook’s Notes for extra ripening.
  2. Preheat oven to 160°C and grease and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
  3. Beat together the coconut oil and honey until combined. Add both eggs and whisk to combine. Add mashed bananas and passionfruit pulp - whisk gently, making sure to leave clumps of banana - it doesn’t need to be smooth.
  4. Whisk through the baking soda, vanilla and salt.
  5. Fold in the flour, almond meal and dessicated coconut until just combined.
  6. Pour into greased loaf tin and top with the extra halved banana. Sprinkle the extra banana with coconut sugar.
  7. Bake 45-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out just clean.
