Bananna Nut Bread

This bread is a great addition to breakfast or a hearty healthy snack.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegan margarine (such as Earth's Balance)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup 100% fruit juice (I like to use apple)
3 tsp egg replacer
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup raw nuts, chopped (cashews, walnut or pecan)
1 tsp baking soda
3 soft, ripe banana, mashed
1-2 Tsp flax meal*

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°
2. Cream together sugar and margarine
   
3. Add juice, egg replacer, flour, baking soda, bananas and chopped nuts
4. Pour batter into an oiled and floured loaf pan
5. Sprinkle with flax meal
6. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
   

Yields 1 loaf
Can also bake in 9x9 pan for bars or muffin cups – monitor time after 30 minutes

*Rather than buy flax meal, I buy raw flax seeds and grind in a food processor or coffee grinder as needed
