Coconut and Banana Cake by The Fat Foodie

I made this Coconut and Banana Cake last week because I’d noticed that I had a few bananas which were ripe, but were about to turn into high FODMAP over-ripe ones within the next couple of days and I wanted to make use of them while I still could. Bananas are only a low FODMAP fruit while they are under-ripe or ripe, but without any blemishes on their skins.

Rocky Road by The Fat Foodie

This might sound a bit odd, but this rocky road traybake came about as an accident in a way because I’d originally set out to make a batch of chocolate tiffin with some ingredients which needed used up, but when I presented the finished bake to my family they exclaimed “Ooh! Rocky Road!”. It was only then that I realised that because I’d put marshmallows and crushed biscuits in it I’d inadvertently created a rocky road traybake. Oh well…
