Recipe!

Vegan (obviously) Banana Bread

Note: Once the liquid and dry ingredients are combined, the batter should be poured into the bread pan and put into the oven quickly so that the CO2 released by the baking soda doesn't escape.

2 Cup flour
1 Cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 Cup mashed banana (probably 2-3 ripe ones)
1/2 Cup vegetable oil
Egg substitute equivalent of 3 eggs
1/3 Cup soy buttermilk*

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in large mixing bowl. Mix bananas, oil, and buttermilk* in medium mixing bowl. Combine the banana mixture with the large bowl containing dry ingredients, and stir well. Add the egg substitute now, and stir well again. (Optional: add 1/2 Cup pecans)

Pour into greased 9x5 inch bread pan. Bake in 325 degree oven for 75 minutes, or until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean.

*To make soy buttermilk, combine 1 Cup soymilk with 1 Tablespoon vinegar. This can be used on a 1:1 ratio with buttermilk, so 1/3 Cup of this = 1/3 Cup buttermilk.

Enjoy!
