Ingredients

• 2 large, very ripe bananas (~400g), mashed
• ⅓ cup olive oil or coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup green banana flour
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 TBSP gelatin
• ¼ cup hot water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and prepare a mini loaf pan with parchment paper.*

2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas.

3. Add in olive oil, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar and mix until combined.

4. In a separate bowl, combine green banana flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

5. Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet and stir until mostly combined. Batter will be fairly stiff at this stage.

6. Make gelatin egg by whisking together gelatin and hot water until all the gelatin is dissolved and the mixture is frothy.

7. Immediately fold gelatin egg into batter until fully combined. Batter should loosen up and be fluffy.

8. Spoon batter into prepared loaf pan(s).

9. Optional: split an additional banana down the middle vertically then add on top of the batter or just add banana slices on top for decoration.

10. Bake in the middle rack of a preheated oven for 25 - 30 mins (Cooking time will vary if you use a standard loaf pan - see notes). Do not over bake as green banana flour tends to dry out easily.

11. Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
