Ingredients

• 75g coconut flour
• 50g almond butter

1. Preheat your oven to 180c and line a baking tin with parchment paper
2. Beat the eggs, bananas and pineapple juice until well combined.
3. Add in all the other ingredients, folding the flour in in sections. Keep mixing until the mixture is thick. If you need more thickness, add in a little more flour.

5. Once cooled, scatter with the coconut and drizzle a little of the pineapple juice over the top and allow to soak through.
