   Vegan banana bread.  So delicious!

Basic recipe is from Veg recipes of India
Ingredients4 medium sized ripe or over ripe bananas - I used 4 large over ripe
1.5 cups whole wheat flour - I used AP
½ or ⅔ cup coconut oil or sunflower oil (adding about ⅔ cup would result in a more softer texture) - I used 1/3 cup coconut oil
½ cup organic brown sugar or cane sugar - I used 3/4 cup cane
½ tsp vanilla powder or 1 tsp vanilla extract - I used extract
1 tbsp sunflower seeds (optional) - I left the sunflower seeds out and forgot the walnuts I had chopped 
1.5 tsp baking powder - I did not use
½ tsp baking soda - I used 1 tsp baking soda
a pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
preheat the oven to 180 degree C. - I baked at 350 F 
grease a bread tin or a rectangular cake pan with some coconut oil.
first mash the bananas well or puree them with a hand blender.
now add the oil, sugar & vanilla to the banana and blend well.
sieve the flour with the baking soda and baking powder.
fold the seived flour really well.
this folding step is important as you want the whole bread mixture to be one and mixed evenly.
lastly add the sunflower seeds and fold these.
pour the bread mixture into the bread pan.
bake at 180 degree C for 30-40 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the bread comes out clean. I baked for 1 hour
once warm or cool remove the bread from the pan.
slice and serve warm.
the remaining loaf, you can wrap in a cling film or keep in a box in the fridge.
warm the bread before serving.
Notes
since coconut oil is added to the bread and it solidifies when refrigerated, hence the bread also becomes dense when you refrigerate it. so before serving just warm up the bread and the bread will have its natural texture back.
Sweetness of the bread can be adjusted as per your preferences.
