Should the coconut oil be liquid or solid?
No, applesauce replaces oil…the banana is intended as a sweetener I would guess. So try just leaving it out (since you have the brown sugar in there already) or you could add a tad honey or agave (I’m totally guessing) or if you think it’s in there to hold things together you could try flax meal. I would just leave it out though.
I’ve used applesauce in my banana bread recipe when I didn’t have enough banana and it worked. I probably won’t be as sweet.
I’m gluten free – what is a good alternative to whole wheat flour
Gf flour or gf baking mix. You also will need to buy gf oats at a health food store.
