Meanwhile on low- medium heat dry roast (without oil) the desiccated coconut… You can also place them in a pan in an oven at 180 degrees fr 3-5 minutes or until coloured 🙂
In a frypan on medium-high heat melt the coconut oil, then place the banana cut side down to caramelise for 1 minute, cook more if needed, before turning over for 30 seconds. Set aside
