Dairy-Free: Banana Bread for those that don't like bananas

(See post above for the banana story.)

BANANA BREAD                                                    

1 cup sugar
1/3 cup Earth Balance - soften by letting sit on counter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (3 to 4 bananas)
1/3 cup (filtered) water
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt (to help rise)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 chopped walnuts
Pan sizes: 4 small loaf pans or 9x5x3
Preheat oven to 350º.
Grease bread pan bottoms with Earth Balance
Mix sugar and Earth Balance in large bowl
Stir in eggs until blended
Add bananas and water: beat together for 30 seconds
Stir in remaining ingredients until moist (except walnuts)
Fold in walnuts - try not to over mix
Pour into pan
Spread so the batter is even
Bake until tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean
9-inch loaf approximately 55 minutes
4 smaller loaf pans 20- 30 minutes - check back often after 20 minutes

Ingredients insight:
Eggs - cage free, raised naturally without antibiotics, vegetarian feed with no animal by products - a dozen costs (thankfully in our area) less than $1.50 more per dozen than the factory egg farms.
