Cut the butter into very small pieces with a sharp knife and add to the flour mixture (use a fork if opting for coconut oil instead of butter)..
In another bowl, prepare the liquid part. Add mashed banana (should be about 3/4 cup), then add milk until you reach 1 full cup (so about 1/4 cup milk). Add maple syrup, vanilla extract and mix..
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry one and combine with a big spoon. Use your hands to knead the dough and make sure that all ingredients are well incorporated..
On a flat surface, form the dough into a circle (about 1 inch deep). Use a sharp knife to cut it into 8 even slices (like a pizza)..
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 17-20 minutes in 400F/200C..
