the one's for faustian wish

... who said something the other day like "i could do a lot with a bananna" ... something like that. anyway, as some of you know, i've been working on a cookbook for a couple of years now, which has been an off-and-on thing -- all origional recipies all my photos -- anyway, i've been laborously working on a healthy vegan banana bread for quite some time. and when faustian wish made her bananna comment, i thought "i should have another whack at that" -- but the page of notes i'd been scribbling my experiments for this particular recipie was GONE. who the heck knows where it went. but i'd already peeled the banannas and stuffed them in the mixmaster (hail to thee) i was comitted. so ... i pretty much invented a new one on the spot:




preheat oven to 400'

4 overripe banannas (skins black)
1 cup white flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup raisens
2 tblspoons vegan chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tea spoons sweet n low
1/3 cup water
2 tblspoons soy milk

put everything except chips and raisens together in the mixmaster and whap it around on LOW (fold) until smooth. add chips and raisens. pour into bread pan. bake until a knife inserted comes out relatively clean (took me 45 minutes, but i have a stove made in 1947).
