Munchy Monday #14: Banana bread

This is my version of a very well known sweet bread. It was passed on to me by a friend from Bolivia and I replace the egg with apple sauce. It uses no dairy, so is ideal for people with diet restrictions.

You will need:

1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons margarine
3 - 4 ripe bananas, mashed
2 tablespoons apple sauce
3 cups plain flour + 15 g chemical raising agent (or 3 cups S.R. flour)


Method:

Cream together margarine and sugar in a bowl. In another plate add apple sauce to mashed banana and mix. Add banana mixture to margarine cream and stir. Carefully fold in flour. Spoon resulting batter into a greased oven mould and cook in a medium oven (180º C) for about 25 - 30 mins.

To test for 'done-ness', stick a skewer or wooden toothpick into the bread and if it comes out clean the bread is done. If not, leave in oven for a few minutes more.
