Banana, Coconut and Lemon Loaf

Ingredients
Original recipe by Nadia Lim

• 1/2 cup butter/ coconut oil
• 1/2 cup honey
• 3 large ripe bananas
• 2 cups dessicated coconut
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 eggs
• zest of 2 lemons
• a pinch of salt

Method

Preheat over to 180 C

Melt honey and butter in a small pot

Mash the bananas up with a fork.

Add the mashed bananas, coconut, flour, baking powder, honey mixture, eggs, lemon zest and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

Combine all ingredients together, be careful not to over mix or you will have a hard cake.

Pour ingredients into a greased and lined loaf tin and bake for 1 hour or until skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

What I learned
When you mix all the ingredients together mix it slowly and gently because if you do it to hard and fast then the loaf will be really hard and it will not be edible. If you want you can replace the honey with rice malt syrup or fructose free sweetener.  Also you can replace flour with almond flour for a gluten free option.  Check the cake around 5 to 10 minutes before the one hour mark to make sure you don't over bake it.

For fun 
If you want to have an awesome treat then warm up a slice of the loaf and spread lot's of butter on it. It will be a great start to your day.
