Coconut banana bread
September 8th, 2007 @ 18:50I was given a lot of bananas yesterday that I had no idea what to do with. So today, after spending the entire morning slaving (we had to get out of bed at 5am to go to the flea market and sell all our stuff) and most of the afternoon slaving (cooking!) I decided to try to make some banana bread. I don’t think I’ve ever had banana bread ever although the word is funny, just like banana hammock, but it sounded good enough. So I googled and here’s what I found, Isa’s recipe on the ppk. I modified it a bit and it came out totally delicious! Served warm with some soy ice cream and the very last of our non vegan caramel sauce. Tomorrow I’ll be having friends over for dinner and I’m going to make some of my own caramel sauce. it’s all going to be totally fab!
Also: I TOTALLY had no idea that quiche isn’t pie! Or well. I was googling for pies (savoury/salty) but I couldn’t find anything but sweet pies. No wonder, apparently you Americans call it quiche! Alex swears it’s not an English thing ‘it has to be American’ but I don’t know. You should have told me!
Coconut banana bread:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 1/4 cup apple sauce
- 1/4 cup desiccated coconut
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed well
- 2 cups flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup soy milk, mixed with 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla flavour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 175C (350F). Grease up a bread pan and coat with desiccated coconut. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Cream together the margarine, apple sauce and sugars. Mash up the bananas and add to the margarine mix. Pour the apple cider vinegar into the soy milk and stir. Add to bananas. Add in the coconut. Mix together the wet ingredients with the dry. Mix well and pour into the bread pan. Bake in the oven for about an hour. It’s delicious!
mmm, this coconut-banana bread looks scrumptious – especially with the soy “ice cream,” and vegan caramel sauce drizzled on top!!
I, too, thought that quiche was a type of pie… and I AM American!! haha. Learn something new everyday :0)

Comment by Celine - September 9th, 2007 at 5:17 amVeggiegirl – I suppose it IS a type of pie, that’s what we call it in Sweden. We only have one name for pie damnit!
Annelie: Tack! Både jag och sambon älskade det här receptet och han tycker itne ens om bananer.

Stonielove – It’s one of my favourite combinations ever. I love it.
