Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease 1 standard loaf pan with melted coconut oil and set aside.
This is a one bowl recipe -- so find the largest mixing bowl you have and start combining ingredients! First add the eggs, coconut milk, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk together to combine.
Then add flours, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda and salt, stirring until just combined. Then, stir in bananas and add the lime juice and zest, reserving a small portion of lime zest for garnish.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 75 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out of the centre of the loaf mostly clean.
Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes in the pan before removing from that pan and transferring to a wire rack to cool.
Once partially cooled, garnish with fresh lime zest. Slice and serve immediately!
