BANANA BREAD!

Okay, so I have some old bananas. Time to make banana bread but..........okay, I need a new recipe. Something without eggs......enter the Post Punk Kitchen, with a great recipe to try. Here's the link:

First, I should say I took some liberties with this thing. I threw in some dark chocolate chips and leftover walnuts, used almond milk instead of soy, and completely did not follow the directions. I finished up a variety of sugars all mixed together and accidentally threw the sugars in with the dry ingredients instead of creaming them with the margarine. If this still comes out good, I think I may have to declare Isa (the author) a goddess in her own right for making a recipe even a non-cooking new Vegan can't screw up.

I also have no sense of maturity in the kitchen. The dough looked too nice and squishy to simply stir with a spoon, so I brought my margarine to " room temperature " by taking it directly out of the fridge and then squishing it through my fingers into the dough like a three-year-old discovering the concept of "gooey" for the first time, howling "eeeeeew, GROSS!" the whole time. Now THAT'S how you party on a Friday night, people.

Okay, it's in the oven now, and my pantry is cleaner due to all the bits and ends I used up. Now to wait an hour and see the results.........

It's really moist, but my altitude on the mountain makes stuff bake funny, so I'm going to stick it back in for another10. It's exploding out of the pan! I forgot to leave room for all the chocolate chips and nuts I put in. I couldn't resist breaking off a hunk of crust while it was cooling and OH MY GOD THIS IS SO FREAKING GOOD!!!! Much better than my normal....or should I say, my OLD recipe. Isa is a goddess. I'm a vegan baker now!!!!!
