1 ¼ cups (180 gr.) all-purpose flour
½ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
5 medium bananas
2 ½ cups (180 gr.) unsweetened coconut flakes
1/3 cup (70 gr.) sugar
2 large eggs
1 tbsp. whole milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract

  • Peel all bananas, cut in half and split.
  • Remove baking dish from oven and place it on a towel. While still warm arrange all banana slices starting from the shorter edge of the baking dish. Lightly press bananas into the dough. Spread the coconut filling evenly, gently pressing on top of the bananas. Sprinkle with the fancy large coconut flakes.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for 23 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Let it cool completely. Cut bars into desired shapes.
  • Enjoy!
