Yeah, but My Vegan Banana Bread Has No Soy, No Margarine Either

Submitted by Azuki

"The reason for the no margarine is that vegan margarine is often made from palm oil, and the farming of palm oil is endangering orangutans, so I've heard. Anyway, this is great bread. If you have kids, make sure they eat their dinner first because they will really fill themselves on this, especially if it has some peanut butter on it."
