coconut oil no-stick cooking spray
1 cup whole wheat flour
⅓ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup cane sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ¼ teaspoons ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup mashed banana
¾ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cashew milk, or more as needed
½ teaspoon coconut oil, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
