- Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a 12 serving cup cake pan with cupcake cases.
- In a large bowl combine bananas, honey, vanilla essence, eggs, coconut oil and coconut milk using a hand mixer – mix everything together until smooth.

- Spoon the batter alternating one scoop banana batter and one scoop chocolate batter inside the cupcake cases. Continue to alternate the batter in the pan to almost forming a pattern in the pan. To create marbling, run a toothpick or a table knife through the batters in a swirl motion, making sure not to over swirl the batter.

- Drizzle melted dark chocolate over cakes, if desired.
- Cakes can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
notes
This makes about 9 cupcakes, I just make sure the cupcake cases are about 3/4 full before baking.
My friends Daniel and Becky made this in a loaf tin, with the following adjustments:
- dessicated coconut instead of the coconut flour… with a teeny bit of spelt flour
- loads of maca, about 3 the amount of raw cacao
- melted raw coconut oil on top…mmmm
