Banana Bread - Vegan

Original is here: http://www.grouprecipes.com/8093/banana-bread.html I have "vegan-ized" it to suit my needs. This is LOVED by my carnivore family members! It goes here because I can't read the print-out anymore...LOL.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 1 loaf

Ingredients

• 1  cup sugar
• 1  cup banana, mashed (2-3 VERY ripe ones!)
• 1⁄2 cup butter (I use Earth Balance Buttery Sticks) or 1⁄2 cup margarine, softened (I use Earth Balance Buttery Sticks)
• 1⁄4 cup milk (I use Silk Soy)
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract (I use almond)
• 2  egg substitute (2 tbsp Flax Seed Meal and 6 tbsp warm water ( DO THIS FIRST while you gather other ingredients, whis)
• 2  cups flour
• 1⁄2 cup  nuts, chopped (optional, just the FSM egg replacer is good for nutty taste) (optional)
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F/180°C.
2. Spray bread pan with cooking spray. I use a mini-loaf pan and put 1-2 drops of canola oil in each loaf and spread with my fingers.
3. Mix First 6 ingredients together. I use my Food Processor - cuts down on time.
4. Beat 1 minute on medium speed (I pulse my FP) until all are well blended.
5. Stir in remaining ingredients on high speed until moist and completely mixed.
6. Bake for 50 - 60 minutes -- depending on oven. Mini-loaves are done in 35-40 minutes.
7. When toothpick comes out clean, it is ready!
8. Enjoy warm or not. Butter/margarine slathered on is YUMMY!
