Maple Cornmeal Banana Bread // vegan, gluten-free, oil-free

[@lynnamel8253]

I made this, it was super delicious. I used coconut sugar instead of the maple syrup. Thank you for the recipe !

[@erisenigma]

You are one of my top fave food/recipe blogs

[@ZainabKhan-zn9ff]

just made them! used a mini cupcake pan and substituted the maple syrup for honey.. came out really lovely! Alhamdulillah!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Mini banana bread cupcakes--I bet they were adorable! I am so happy you liked the recipe, enjoy😊

[@erikaa5274]

omg i made banana cornbread before! however i used a cornbread box mix and subbed in 2 ripe mashed bananas and some almond milk! it was sooo good

[@FeastingonFruit]

+erika wu Well that's a super easy way to do it too! Isn't it the best combo, mmmm

[@pranverag4990]

I made this last week and it was seriously SO good! I couldn't stop eating it haha. I'm planning on making it again tonight! Thank you so much for all of your recipes, they're great. :)

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yay!! I always love getting feedback on the recipes, so that is wonderful to hear. I've made this one so many times, banana bread is practically a staple don't you think!?😉

[@cymbalinepx]

I try this recipe today and it's awesome :) thanks for sharing. I sub the maple syrup for brown sugar and it worked fine :)

[@sookjenwong]

Natalie! I made the banana bread and everyone loved it. I brought some and some pomegranate seeds to the hot yoga studio. After class, it was eating time! I tell them about your site. But by me making it they can see eating vegan and gluten is possible. Thanks so much!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Aw Sue that makes me so happy to hear🤗 I love that you are trying and sharing the recipes, thank you for that!

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

I released a banana based bread on my blog today too for the same reason of having too many bananas! Twinning

[@beautymariely]

+Sweet Simple Vegan I'm coming over right now!

[@senyagwynn8095]

I'm going to make this tomorrow!!! Yumm💜💜💜

[@60229ify]

Thanks for this one! I have made it three times already ..I make muffins and cook half the time..;)

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Holly_Fruitarian Genius! It's one of my faves too!

[@lilimah5010]

Hi. Hope you will continue reinventing more GLUTEN FREE recipes for healthy eating. Grateful that I found your channel today. Thanks so much. You are so talented and creative in making Gluten Free food so yummy and healthy. God bless 😊 💖

[@thedancingsnail9443]

That looks incredible.

[@FeastingonFruit]

+The Dancing Snail Thank you!

[@Mita_2023]

I'm binge watching your videos. I noticed your blender is your best friend in the kitchen 😀😀 what brand is it? I have all the ingredients, going to make this. Making vegan desserts involve very different ingredients as opposed to regular baking. Almond flour, coconut sugar and nut butter seem to be used predominantly, dates too and they are quite expensive. I have to find a way to buy them in bulk. Can't imagine how you come up with such creative recipes, must involve a lot of experimenting, making in small batches etc. I have a major sweet tooth, I really need to switch to vegan desserts. So glad I found your channel 🙌🙌

[@FeastingonFruit]

Ha yes you are correct--I am a little blender obsessed. I use a Vitamix in all my recipes and absolutely love it for everything. This is the exact one I currently am using: amzn.to/2xpLV6S but any of their models are fantastic. It is an entirely new world of ingredients and techniques for sure, especially if you go for gluten free recipes too. I buy a few things on amazon, but recently I've discovered thrivemarket.com to be great for cheaper baking ingredients as well. Oh and Trader Joe's, I would be lost without that place. I have quite the sweet tooth too, so I hope these healthier desserts satisfy yours too :)

[@KindEarthTV]

It's official! I just can't keep up with all of your awesome recipes :) Amazing ingredients as always. Fab video. Love it, love it, love it!!

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Trinity's Conscious Kitchen Are you kidding, you have a treasure chest of awesome recipes over on your site, I was just drooling over your lucuma frosted brownies yesterday actually

[@KindEarthTV]

+Feasting on Fruit ha ha - so do you. I just love knowing that there is someone out there who uses similar ingredients to me, but, always with a different twist. Soooo funny that you mentioned the Lucuma Frosted Brownies!!! because I've been thinking for a while of bumping that recipe back up and doing a new photo-shoot (now I am taking my photos seriously :0)). xx

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Trinity's Conscious Kitchen Do it! Do it! Do it! I mean they look gorgeous and insanely decadent as is, but it's such a great recipe I think it deserves some more attention!

[@KindEarthTV]

+Feasting on Fruit ha ha - how can I possibly say no to that!!! I created this AMAZING sweet treat for my guests on retreat the other night too - raw desserts is my forte - in fact maybe I should just do raw desserts. Thanks for your awesome encouragement. x

[@Nemodog]

OMG!!!!! Make it with pumpkin and some spices!!!! So Fall / Harvest! I am loving your brain girl. Thanks!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Oooh I love that idea!! I have so many pumpkin-y ideas to explore soon :)

[@Nemodog]

I posted a reply to you on the wrong video. I'm going to move it over where it belongs. Thanks for all of your great ideas!

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Your videos are always so beautifully done! Could I ask you what tripod or overhead stand you use for your camera? I am looking to get one but the ones are see are quite pricey! :/

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Sweet Simple Vegan I use this manfrotto tripod for everything: www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-MKCOMPACTADV-BK-Compact-Advanced-Tripod/dp/B00L6F1J9Y/ref=sr_1_4?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1453759110&sr=1-4&keywords=manfrotto+tripod For the over head shots I just tilt it all the way down and then photoshop out the tripod legs when necessary. Not the best but it works :) And yeah I would love an overhead arm too but so pricey!  And now I'm off to go check out you banana bread, because I still have more bananas to use up :D

[@banatoutounjee]

That looks really good :D >>>>> Can't wait to try it!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Oh I love this one, I hope you enjoy it😋

[@RonPaulgirls]

THAT'S GREAT SWEETHEART. YOUR RECIPES ARE ALWAYS VERY NICE AND YOU'RE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL AND SUCH A SUPER NICE PERSON.

[@FeastingonFruit]

+RonPaulgirls Wow thank you!

[@eternamenteamata]

You've got skills in video making!! Great videos!! Also I love the music you use!! Can I ask you wich one is it??

[@FeastingonFruit]

Here's the song: soundcloud.com/jeff-kaale/spanish-guitar I always link the music in the description just fyi :)

[@eternamenteamata]

thanks!!

[@CHIANG3580]

Can I replace all purpose flour with oat flour?

[@cadryskitchen]

Great job! I like the way that you labeled the measurements in the video. It's been way too long since I've had banana bread.

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Cadry's Kitchen Thanks! I just really didn't feel like doing voiceover. You should make some, it could be the dessert you were missing ;)

[@floralfoodsblog6891]

OOooo Yummy! Love this recipe :)) What is a good substitute for tapioca starch? x

[@FeastingonFruit]

+FloralFoods Blog Cornstarch or leave it out. It just makes for a better texture in GF stuff, but not essential :)

[@floralfoodsblog6891]

ok thanks!x

[@RanDom-bk8tt]

😭😭😭 Thank youuuuu!!! I will 100% try this sometime soon~!! But another question, what brand of oats do you use? I would like the know the specific ones you use. Do you make the oats into flour yourself? Or do you buy oat flour?

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Ran Dom I buy the bob's red mill GF oats and grind the flour myself in my Vitamix. Just a like 10-20 seconds on high gets it really fine. I have used the Arrowhead Mills oat flour as well, but it's not certified GF and its quite expensive when oats are so cheap.

[@sookjenwong]

Yum ! That makes me drool. Does the corn meal make it crunchy? My husband spreads corn meal before laying his pizza dough, makes the crust nutty! I can’t partake in it because I’m looking for recipes gluten free dairy free and vegan and voila ! I have done a few recipes of yours and brought them to the yoga studio! They love it! Thanks so much! Keep creating keep them coming!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yep, it does add a little nubbly crunch, which I LOVE here! This one would be gf/df and vegan as long as you use gf oats, but I'm happy you are trying and sharing some of the others too :)

[@shaunpichu7220]

Omg this looks so yummy!! Can I replace the tapioca starch by corn starch? I can't find it

[@FeastingonFruit]

+shaun oodoomansaib Yup!

[@TheSilverRivers]

It looks sooo good 😍

[@FeastingonFruit]

+The Silver Rivers Thank you! It tastes even better I promise

[@nedaahmadi4011]

please say how many gram cornmeal and oat flour?

[@pascaledevalet]

I don't have cornmeal I have cornflour do you think it would work??? Thank you

[@XxBootleggerLoverxX]

I may have asked on another video (I can't keep track), but what is the best substitute for oat flour? I cannot handle oats, even gf ones.

[@FeastingonFruit]

There is no straight substitute that I know of, and it varies recipe to recipe. A couple combos to try would be: Buckwheat + tapioca starch (1:1 ratio) White rice (not sticky white rice and not brown rice) + almond flour + potato starch (2:2:1 ratio) White rice + brown rice + tapioca starch (1:1:1 ratio) Tapioca flour is great if things are too dry or falling apart which can happen a lot with GF baking, so that will be helpful along with just about any flour you try. It will probably take some experimentation though, I'm sorry there isn't an easy answer for this. I will try to do some experimentation myself and find a good mix that will work in most of my quickbread/muffin/cakes. I hope that gives you somewhere to start though!

[@tamitorossian7285]

Omg yum!

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Tami Torossian It's my favorite thing right now, I've been having it for breakfast the past few days :)

[@thejunebuggirl8338]

How do you get the proportions right when you create a new baking recipe? To keep it from being too dry/get the consistency you want.

[@FeastingonFruit]

Lots of experimentation and also using past recipes as a starting point for new ones. I have kind of a basic formula now that I can adjust for new ingredients. But sometimes it just takes getting in the kitchen and making it 12 times until it perfect😁

[@cassiee3494]

Can I use Sweet Rice Flour Mochiko brand by Koda Farms, Cornmeal Flour and I have some Tapioca Flour? Also have Cassava Starch. What would be the ratio? I have all the other ingredients to make this.

[@FeastingonFruit]

I haven't tested with any of those so I can't say for sure, you will have to experiment yourself!

[@cassiee3494]

@@FeastingonFruit ok. Blender conk out so that's why I can't do oat flour. Will probably wait or try. I know you mentioned rice flour but this is sweet rice flour.

[@camillabe4723]

Do you think rice flour or buckwheat flour will work instead?

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Camilla Bøe Rice flour alone, probably not. A GF all purpose blend might work, and buckwheat might work. Can't say from experience though as I haven't tried it myself.

[@mycolooornail]

I must do this !:)

[@FeastingonFruit]

+mycolooornail Yes I agree completely!

[@mycolooornail]

it's delicious ! *.*

[@adrianamandujano2952]

hmm I'm vegan i use different ingredients for my banana bread . vegan.sugar .coconut oil. oats. Almond milk. and agave.
