  • 2 Tbsp coconut sugar

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9x13 inch baking dish with a bit of coconut oil to ensure easy removal of the cake after baking.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar, and a pinch of sea salt. Add the ripe bananas and mash them well until smooth. Then, incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed in before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract to bring out the flavors.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, tapioca flour, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. If you’re using instant coffee granules, add them here as well for a delightful coffee flavor.
  4. Step 4: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; just mix until there are no dry spots left. Fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
  5. Step 5: Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the top with the remaining coconut sugar and a dash of cinnamon for a sweet crust. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Step 6: Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into squares, serve, and enjoy your delicious Paleo Banana Coffee Cake!
