1/2cupEarth Balance vegan buttersoftened (if not worried about dairy, you can use real butter)
2large eggs
3ripe bananasmashed
1/2tspvanilla extract
1/2cupchopped walnutsoptional - see notes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350º F and lightly grease a standard loaf pan.
Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Using your mixer, cream together vegan butter and sugar, then add eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla and continue mixing until well combined. It's okay if there are small chunks of banana.
Slowly add the flour mixture to wet mixture and continue to mix on medium speed until well combined.
Fold in walnuts, chocolate chips or other goodies by hand (optional), then pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Allow bread to cool for 15 minutes before removing it from pan to fully cool on a wire rack.
Notes
This bread keeps well and tastes great for several days (at least 4 days) after you bake it. Keep is wrapped in plastic wrap or in a zip top bag. In lieu of walnuts, add chocolate chips, dried fruit, or other add-ins for a wonderful dessert bread.
