Walnut Banana Bread

My colleague gave me two over ripe bananas today and asked if I could use them.  So I decided to try to make banana bread.  As I have said, I am not much of a baker, but this turned out pretty damn good.  This was super fast and easy to make.  


Vegan Banana Walnut Bread

Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup almond milk (soy milk works, too)
6 tablespoons grapeseed oil
4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon agave nectar
3 prunes
2 over ripe bananas
1 cup roughly chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Oil the loaf pan and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt).  In your food processor or blender, blend together the milk, oil, syrup, agave nectar, and bananas until smooth.
Fold in the banana mixture and almonds into the flour mixture. Pour the batter into the loaf pans.  Smooth the top with a spatula.Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.  Remove from oven and let cool.

P.S. This makes a yummy breakfast!
