- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 45 min
- Makes: 1 serving (171 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free

Ingredients
- 80 g Bananas, raw
- 30 g Rice flour, glutinous
- 40 g Coconut milk, canned
- 20 g Sugar, brown
- 1 g Vanilla extract
Method
- Mash the bananas well and mix with the rice flour, coconut milk, sugar and vanilla into a smooth batter; this makes one portion (one slice), so multiply by 6-8 for a whole cake.
- Pour into a greased loaf pan or banana-leaf-lined dish.

- Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing, as it firms up as it cools.
