Ingredients

• 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 ounces Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.75 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 cup pineapple juice
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 0.75 cup chopped banana
• 0.375 cup turbinado sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place chopped banana into a small bowl, cover with pineapple juice, and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.

Step 3

Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl.

Step 4

Beat sugar, butter, and coconut oil together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth; stir in yogurt.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Step 6

Drain banana chunks and save juice for another use. Fold bananas into the yogurt mixture. Fold in the dry ingredients carefully until just mixed. Dump onto the prepared baking sheet and pat into a 9- to 10-inch circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges using a dough scraper or large knife, but don't separate them.
