    0 votes

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup all purpose flour - you could use whole wheat flour too or make it 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 APF
    • 1/2 cup semolina
    • 1 cup packed sugar - you could even use brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup coconut powder/flakes (unsweetened)
    • 2 ripe bananas
    • 1/3 cup butter/ghee/vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon allspice powder
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    Directions

    I buy only 6 bananas every week - just because I need to give it to my kiddo as they are good and healthy. However, she ends up eating only 3 to 4 of them in the entire week and I have about 2 of them always left out there and they look so spotty that nobody wants to eat them.

    I end up making banana fritters, banana appes, sometimes even sheera, tried them pancakes too and ofcorse the ever faithful banana bread.

    I was kinda bored of the normal banana bread I bake almost always - so, decided to make it different today. Well, added some semolina to give it a bite and some coconut for added flavor and also substituted the vanilla for to allspice powder. Well, it turned out decent and we liked it.

    Ingredients

    Method

    Mix the flour, semolina, coconut powder/flakes, baking powder, salt and allspice powder and mix well. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas and then add the butter/ghee/oil along with the sugar and mix well. Now add the dry ingredients and fold them all together. Pour this well incorporated mixture into a greased baking dish/loaf pan (I used a 9X5 loaf pan) and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes till a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

    You could also make also make cupcakes - they would bake in about 15 to 20 minutes. Makes 12 of them.

    This cake is a little denser compared to a banana bread that is all made with APF.
