Banana Bread

3 overripe brown bananas
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup melted Earth Balance
1 egg replacer (1 tbsp ground flax seed/3 tbsp water)

Optional:
1/2 cup walnuts (traditional bread)
-or-
1/2 cup mini Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips (LOVE for muffins!)
-or-
1 tsp nutmeg (if you'd like to try a doughnut-inspired bread)

1: Preheat oven to 325°
2: Mash bananas and stir in all ingredients
3: Grease bread pan (with Earth Balance) and pour mixture in.
4: Bake for 45-60 minutes, checking with a toothpick in the center until it comes out clean.  The baking time really varies depending on oven/altitude.


YUM!  This bread is THE BEST the day after when it has been refrigerated!  <3
