Pumpkin seeds are nut-free and cheaper.

Start by mashing 3/4 cup of ripe bananas until super smooth.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of gluten-free flour mix, 1/4 cup of organic cane sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of arrowroot.

In another bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, 2/3 cup of milk, 1/3 cup of melted coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of rum extract.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients by dumping them together and mixing until just combined.

Pour the batter into a 9-inch loaf pan.

Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes, or until set and a toothpick comes out clean.
