Vegan Banana Bread

I know I've been slack with updating my posts and my fellow blogger at angloyankophile always pulls me up on it, which I like. But recently I've been pulled away from the computer by World Cup/Wimbledon and general warm sun.

But I'm back with a recipe that I actually have never made, but is an American Vegetarian special. Its the Vegan Banana Bread.

This is gorgeous. There really is nothing better then home made bread. The smell it creates, and the joy it brings is just delightful! So here is the American Vegetarian's Vegan Banana Bread.


Ingredients

2 1/4 cups of whole wheat self-raising flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp of baking soda
1 1/2 cups of mashed banana (approx 3)
6 tbsp apple juice
2 tbsp of vegetable oil
2 tsp of vanilla extract
1/3 cup chopped nuts (walnuts)
1/3 cup of raisins
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of nutmeg

Method

Preheat oven to 350 F or 175 Celsius.

In a bowl mix the whole wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda together. In another bowl mash up the banana and add the apple juice, vegetable oil vanilla extract, chopped nuts, raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix well. Then add this mixture with the flour mixture and mix well.

Pour entire mixture into a loaf tin and bake for 50 mins. (I line the loaf tin with some baking paper.)

Eat warm or at room temperature with a spread of your choice!
