Surprisingly Amaaaaaaazing! (Not Your Typical Banana Bread)

So, you're going to look at the ingredients for this banana bread and think 'WAT?' But, seriously, it's the best banana bread I've ever had.  Brent even likes it!!!


1 Cup  FIRM Silken Tofu
3 bananas
1/2 Cup Soy Vegetable Oil
1/2 Cup White Sugar
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1-1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1-1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts

Yes, you're reading that correctly, there are no eggs or dairy in this recipe  :)

Preheat your oven to 350˚F.
Grease and flour one loaf pan or casserole baking dish.
Blend together tofu, bananas, oil and sugar until smooth.
Stir together the dry ingredients and then add it to the wet mixture and blend it together well.
Mix in the walnuts and place the batter in the baking pan and bake for at least an hour,
or until knife inserted comes out clean. (I had to bake for 1hr 15 min)
Cool on rack for 10 minutes, then loosen edges and turn out on rack.

I know Gramma Ann is rolling in her grave saying, "You put WHAT in banana bread?!"  

Seriously, though.  It's incredible.  Try it  -  and if you have a picky eater at home, make them try it first and then tell them what's in it...  Or just don't tell them ;)
