Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C, grease and flour a baking tin. In a mixing bowl mash bananas and sugar together. Add in coconut oil and vanilla, mix until well combined.
2. Add in flour, spices and baking powder, mix until just combined. In a small bowl combine baking soda and apple cider vinegar together, then stir the mixture into the butter. Add in chopped walnuts and mix until combined.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and slice the remaining banana in half lengthwise. Place cut side up on top of the batter, brush with maple syrup. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes until golden brown and a tooth pick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow 5 minutes to cool in the tin before removing. Cool completely on a rack. Enjoy!
