In this video, my two guests Kyle Blume and Harrison Hoover help me bake 'Vegan & Gluten Free Banana Bread' and (nearly) vegan plantains (we added a little honey  which you can remove to the plantains).

Vegan Banana Bread:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup coconut palm sugar
- 3 mushy bananas (this is the egg replacement)
- 2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4 1/2 medium bananas)
- 2 1/4 cup gluten free all purpose baking mix*
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon grand nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

* Make sure to use Gluten Free 'All Purpose Baking Mix' and not 'Gluten Free All Purpose Flower'.

Banana Bread Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
- Lightly grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan
- In a large bowl, stir together the oil and sugar
- Add the egg-replacement bananas, mixing until well blended
- In a separate bowl: add the mashed banana, baking mix, banking soda, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg mixing until fully blended
- combine the bowls into one and mix until blended
- Stir in walnuts (if desired)
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.  
- Sprinkle with more sugar (if desired)
- Bake for 45 minutes, then gently lay a piece of aluminum foil across the top to prevent over-browning. 
- Continue to bake until the top springs back and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  
- Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan
- Run a table knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan.
- Remove from pan and let it completely cool on a baking rack
