Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil or coconut
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cups spelt or all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips - optional
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut - optional
  • 2 tablespoons walnuts, crushed - optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with baking paper.
  • Put the oil, maple and sugar in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk until the batter is smooth. Add the mashed bananas and stir. The batter will harden slightly so you want to stir with a wooden spoon. Stir in the chocolate chips, shredded coconut and nuts and pour the batter into the lined pan.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 35 -40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
