Ingredients

• ripe bananas - 2 medium
• rice flour - 100 grams
• coconut flakes - 50 grams

• salt - a pinch
• coconut oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
2. Add the rice flour, coconut flakes, coconut milk, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the mashed bananas. Mix well until you have a thick batter.
3. Heat coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
