After the long weekend it was time to do some grocery shopping. I went to Trader Joe's after work today and loaded up for the week. I came across the Banana Bread Mix and thought what better to use my ripe bananas for. The ingredients did not require a banana but it was mentioned you can add all sorts of fixing to the banana bread mix, including ripe bananas. However, this recipe called for two eggs.
No problem. I knew I could come up with a binding substitute at home, and thew the mix in my cart.
I know I have used different egg substitutes here before, so I experimented a bit tonight. Tonight instead of one egg I used…
one egg = 1 tablespoon flaxseed and 3 tablespoons of water
Of course we're earthy crunchy enough to have flaxseed laying around and I whisked it together with the water and added it to my wet ingredients. Besides my egg substitutes I followed all the other ingredients and directions, adding a mashed ripe banana as well. I don't know if it's my oven or not but I ended up cooking the banana bread about ten minutes longer than directed. That may have something to do with the fact I didn't use real eggs.
The result…a tasty vegan banana bread. So my breakfast tomorrow. Enjoy!
Looks good Sarah
