Well Michigan is slowly cooling down. The leaves are starting to change, football is on in the background, and the nights are getting longer. I love fall. I love to bake. I love to bake in the fall! And yeah I am a dork. Deal.
I have a loaf of vegan banana bread cooling on the oven, and I made vegan chili in the slow cooker all day.
The chili is my own creation, and the bread I ganked off this wonderful library we call the internet.
Here is the banana bread recipe. I haven't tasted it yet, if its bad I'll edit the post heh. Oh and here is the link, they have an actual video to go with it
Banana Bread
INGREDIENTS
2 ripe bananas
2 tablespoons oil
½ cups sweeteer (I used maple syrup like suggested, but you could use 1/4 blue agave syrup to count down on calories)
½ cup applesauce
2 cups flour (whole wheat or white)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
METHOD
Preheat oven to 375.
In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until very mushy, then add the oil, applesauce, sweetener and stir together.
In a separate large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and soda.
Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and mix together gently until "just mixed".
Spoon in to a lightly oiled loaf pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. Test with a knife to see if done

1 each 15 ouncecan of dark red kidney beans, light red kidney beans, black beans
half a spanish onion diced
3 cloves of garlic, diced
one jalapeno diced including the seeds, cos thats the heat ya know?
1/4 tsp (or a healthy shake) of pumpkin pie spice...seriously
1 tablespoon of liquid smoke
throw it all in the slow cooker, turn it on high for about 6 hours
Even my 'I hate beans' son liked it.
My friend Jeni from Missouri sent me the yummiest cookies! oatmeal, zucchini, cranberries...oh they were good! She made them especially for me, it was her first foray into vegan cookies, and if I can pry the recipe from her I'll post it here!
