Ingredients
  • 1½ all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1¼ cups mashed very ripe bananas (about 4 bananas)
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup plus 2 tablespoons sweetened shredded coconut

  3. Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and baking soda) in a bowl.
  4. In another bowl or in a large measuring cup, combine the bananas coconut milk and lime juice.
  5. In yet another (that is 3!) large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream butter and the sugar. Then add the egg and the vanilla and mix well.
  6. With the mixer at a low speed (to avoid a huge mess), add the dry and wet ingredients alternating between the two.
