Vegan Banana Bread

I know, I can't sleep. And I still get asked for this so, fuck, why not....last thing tonight I swear.
(Goes to show, I can't get food off my mind)

Vegan Banana Bread

  • 1 1/2 c. flour
  • 1/2 c. oil (I use 1/4 plus liquid)
  • 3/4 cup of sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup of ricemilk or water (water works fine with this)
  • 1 1/2 mashed bananas
  • 1/2 cup (or more) of toasted walnuts --OPTIONAL
  • almost a tsp. of Vanilla Extract --OPTIONAL (if your feeling adventurous...I would try without the first time making this, I only added this after making this a few times and wanting some variety)
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water together...Don't mix for too long or your dough will get too tough...no bueno. Anyways, take your bananas (if you don't have ripe bananas I find that zapping them in the microwave for a couple of seconds [15] works quite well) and mash it well. I have a habit of always mixing my oil with the bananas so it makes a weird consistancy to that of eggs acting as a bind for our banana bread.

If you chose to use walnuts, toast them in a pan for a couple of minutes...or until you can actually smell roasting walnuts. Add them to the mixture.

To grease pans I use vegetable oil and pour a little on a paper towel and wipe the inside of a bread pan. I find that this evenly coats. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for about 30 min. My recipe is meant for about 2 servings...double, or triple the measurements for a bigger amount of people endulging ^.^


(I just typed that out without looking at my notes, so I might come back and tweak this if I see that I typed anything wrong :p)
