Preheat the oven to 355°F.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.

Grind 2 tablespoons of flax seeds in a coffee grinder and add to the dry ingredients.

Mix the dry ingredients together until well combined.

In another bowl, peel and mash 2 large ripe bananas with a fork.

Add 1/8 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons applesauce, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/3 cup melted coconut oil to the mashed bananas and mix until fully combined.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until just mixed.

Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil and pour the batter into the pan, shaping it as needed.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the edges are crispy brown and the center is set, checking with a toothpick.

Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing.
