VEGAN BANANA-BLUEBERRY LOAF

SO.GOOD.

INGREDIENTS
2-3 ripe bananas (the riper the better my friends)
2 tablespoons oil
½ cups sweetner (I used brown sugar, you can use sugar in the raw if you want)
½ cups applesauce
2 cups flour (whole wheat or white) -wheat for me
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
A couple handfulls of blueberries (dried, fresh, frozen, whatev)
Nuts (optional...on my chin)

METHOD
Preheat oven to 375.
In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until very mushy, then add the oil, applesauce, sweetener and stir together.
In a separate large bowl, stir together the flour, blueberries, baking powder and soda.
Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and mix together gently until "just mixed".
Spoon in to a lightly oiled loaf pan. I got all fancy pants and threw some raw almonds in the blender, blended them into a fine dust and sprinkled it with cinnamon on the top of the loaf for a nice top crust. It was worth the extra step! Bake for 50 minutes. Test with a knife to see if done. (Knife will come out clean)

Let cool and devour with glass of soy milk. This loaf smells so good when it is in the oven.
