Eggless Banana Bread (Vegan)BM#65

Today is the 2nd day of the Blogging Marathon with a theme Holiday Dishes. Couple of days back My son and i decided to make Banana Bread with couple of mushy banana we had in the house. He has watched the making of banana bread in some cartoon and advised me saying the shape i have made is a cake and not a bread :-). He was totally right. I did not have any other pan and hence the round shape. This is the easiest baking recipe that i have done till now. Thoroughly enjoyed making them.

This time i tried making with half Coconut flour and half whole wheat flour. It turned out really yummy. Everyone relished the bread. Coconut flour gives an amazing texture to the bread.

Here goes the recipe for the bread
