Accidentally Vegan Banana Bread
/Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour, I like Heckers
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups mashed bananas, 4-5 very ripe bananas
6 Tablespoons mild flavored oil, I like safflower
2 Tablespoons water
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Make the banana bread:
Place the rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat it to 350 degrees F. Coat either a 9"x5" loaf pan or 8"x 8" square baking pan with cooking spray. Cut a piece of parchment to fit the bottom of either and lightly coat the bottom again. Alternatively, you can use a 12 cup muffin tin lined with cupcake liners.
In a medium-size bowl, add all of the ingredients and stir until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan of choice, and bake 50-60 minutes for the 9"x 5" loaf pan, about 35- 40 minutes for the square pan, and about 30 minutes for the muffins. A toothpick should come out clean, and the top should be nicely browned.
Makes 9-12 servings. YUM!
