Never breakin' my b-bread promise!!

I almost forgot about my promise for the best banana bread EVER!!! Here you go! ;)

Makes 1 9"x5" loaf

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 sugar
3/4 t. baking soda
3/4 t. cinnamon (I probably used a lot more and also dash of nutmeg)
1/2 cup plain soy milk or almond milk
1/2 T. apple cider vinegar
2 cups mashed banana, from about 4 large very ripe bananas
1/4 cup canola oil
2 T. maple syrup
1 t. vanilla extract
Walnuts, vegan chocolate chips, ect (optional)

How to make this yumtastisc bread:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly oil a 9"x5" loaf pan and set aside.

2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugars, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy milk and cider vinegar and let stand for 2 minutes. Add the mashed banana, canola oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined (do not overmix, keep a little lumpy or your bread will be dense as hell). Fold in the walnuts/ chocolate chips ect if using and pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean. Allow the bread to cool on a wire cooling rack for 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I took out ingredients I thought were unnecessary like more sugar and added salt. Not sure where I got the original recipe but the way I made it was fantastic. The boys inhaled it and Nathaniel said it was the best. I am pretty proud since I used to make it all the time and I haven't since eating vegan.

The reason why I almost forgot about my b-bread promise is I was helping Nathaniel load up the '57 on to a trailer. I was a workin' woman helping with everything I could. My arms are probably going to kill me in the morning. The car was sitting about an hour away which makes it kind of hard to work on it. He swears we are leaving for California soon after Christmas. It's hard to believe but some how I have to keep my head up. All I want is a date so I can start planning/preparing. Happy banana bread eating! Peace out.
