Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour – sifted
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons of butter
2 eggs
2 ½ tsp. baking powder
4 ripe bananas
½ cup buttermilk
Zest of 1 lemon 1 tsp. vanilla
Topping:
½ cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
Preheat Oven 350 degrees:
Sift together the flour and baking powder.
In a mixer blend the bananas. Add the butter, vanilla, sugar, eggs and lemon zest.
Add the sifted ingredients slowly.
Place the batter in buttered 8 x 8 baking pans.
