Banana bread:
Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed bananas (Takes 2-3 Bananas)
1/2 cup vegetable Oil
equivalent of 2 eggs (I use about a cup of applsause for the 2 "eggs")
1/3 cup soy-buttermilk*

*To make buttermilk, combine 1 cup soymilk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar. This can be used on a 1:1 ratio with buttermilk, so 1/3 cup of this = 1/3 cup buttermilk.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Mix flour, vegan sugar, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Mix bananas, oil, and buttermilk* in a medium mixing bowl.

Combine the banana mixture with the large bowl containing dry ingredients, and stir well. Add the applesause or Ener-G Egg Replacer in now, and stir well again. (Optional: add 1/2 cup pecans).

Pour into a greased 9x5 inch bread pan.

Bake in 325 degree oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean. Mine usually take about an hour, but for different elevations you might need more time.


I make this bread all the time for my friends and they never know it's vegan, they actuely think it's from a bakery. xD You can even add in about 1/2 cup of pecan pieces or vegan chocolate chips!

Serves: 10

Preparation time: 1.5 Hours

Quick and easy Cinnamon rolls. smile

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons vegan margarine -- I use Earth Balance
3/4 cup soy milk
2 tablespoons melted margarine
1/4 cup Sucanat
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Icing:
1 teaspoon margarine, softened
1 cup vegan powdered sugar
soy milk


Directions:
Mix dry ingredients first, then cut in margarine.

Mix in soy milk until dough is soft (you may need slightly more or less to get the dough to a workable consistency). Do not over mix!

Roll dough to 0.25 inch thickness (0.5 cm) in a long rectangle -- about 8 inch by 16 inch (16cm x 32 cm). Using a pastry brush, coat the rectangle of dough with the melted margarine. Then spread the Sucanat and cinnamon over it.

Roll from the long end, forming a tight roll. Cut rolls about 1 inch (2 cm) thick. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet (i made mine in a greased, medium sized ceramic bowl so they were softer) and bake at 450 degrees for 15 mins or until golden.

While rolls are baking, make icing by mixing margarine and powdered sugar. Slowly add soy milk to reach desired consistency. spread on rolls while they are still warm.

note: the rolls themselves are not sickeningly sweet, which makes for good contrast with the icing. compared to other cinnamon roll recipes, this one is extremely quick and easy, but still soft and tasty!

1/8 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
about 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Mix dry ingredients until thoroughly blended. Add liquids and stir to a light brown mixture.

Pour into greased 1 quart baking dish.

Stir in now melted chocolate.

Microwave for one more minute (or more depending on how your microwave works, mine usually takes about 3 minutes) and let sit until cool.



The microwaving doesn't hurt the taste at all.
