Banana Bread Squares with Honey Matcha Frosting

Banana Bread Squares with Honey Matcha Frosting

This recipe was inspired by a quaint cafe we visited while in London last year. Through the glass partition I saw the most delicious looking "cake" with green frosting. I never found out what it was exactly, but knew I could create something similar using banana bread and matcha! 

Banana Bread Squares with Honey Matcha Frosting

  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey (coconut nectar or maple syrup would work too) 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla 
  • 2-3 very ripe bananas

Frosting: 

  • 1/2 cup coconut butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup ghee (not melted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 1.5 tablespoons honey 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, sift together almond flour, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt. 

In a separate bowl or high-speed blender, add eggs, coconut oil, honey, bananas and vanilla. Whisk or blend to combine. 

Add wet ingredients into bowl with dry and beat until batter is formed. Pour batter in baking dish and cook 25-28 minutes, or until sides are golden brown and toothpick comes out clean. 

Allow to completely cool on a wire rack or in the fridge overnight. Do not add frosting to warm bread! To make frosting, add ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until creamy. Spread on top or frost individual squares once sliced.
