VEGAN BANANA BREAD

[Guest guest]

I am so thrilled to try this recipe!!! Thank you!

Do you have any other great vegan breads? Any suggestions for brands of

vegan butter? [ I am just barely (2 days) completely vegan. I have been

vegetarian for a few months.] I have used pureed white beans in cookies to

replace butter, and I have used applesauce to replace butter in quick

breads. I am okay with those substitutions, but I would love to try a vegan

butter. What are they made out of? If it is all chemicals, I would rather

not. I wonder if I am making any sense today! Thanks again!

VEGAN BANANA BREAD

 

This is not strictly vegan since it uses honey. You might want to

use maple syrup of agave syrup is you want to make it really vegan.

I came into this recipe on the internet, when I was trying to use

heaps and heaps of bananas. It caught my eye since it uses 6

bananas (yea!!!) no added oil (only to oil the pan) and no eggs (I

try to avoid eggs since my cholesterol skyrockets just looking at an

egg yolk....LOL). The original recipe had the chocolate chips, I

did not have any at the time, so I made the variation (2) with the

currants cardamon and citrus peel. They are both delicious, this is

the banana bread we always make in one variation or another.

 

The original recipe was from a man, I figured maybe he has big

hands? so I actually use two of my (tiny) handfuls instead on one

handful.... ;-)

 

2 tsp cinnamon

6 ripe bananas

2 heaping tbs honey

 

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

handful of chopped walnuts (optional)

 

Option 1:

handful of dark chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla

 

Option 2:

About 1 tbsp citrus rind (lemon is good, lime works too, and orange

as well)

A handful of currants

1 tsp ground cardamon

 

1. mash bananas till chunky and add honey and vanilla (for version 1)

2. sift dry ingredients and add to banana mix

3. pour in greased pan (grease with canola oil)

 

DO NOT OVERMIX! that is how baking gets hard and heavy. it is ok if

it's a bit lumpy when you put it in the pan.

 

bake for ~1 hour at 350
