Coconut Banana Bread

Based on this low fat vegan banana bread recipe, I made this banana bread with a few modifications.  Instead of walnuts, I added coconut.  Instead of soy milk, I used the Manitoba Harvest Hemp Bliss that was so generously donated for our launch party.  I also used agave syrup instead of sugar, and whole wheat flour.  This is probably an even healthier version than the original, but the coconut makes it taste decadent.

Coconut Banana Bread

1/3 cup Earth Balance (or other vegan margarine)

1/4 cup agave syrup

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup Manitoba Harvest Hemp Bliss

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup shredded coconut

Cream together Earth Balance and agave.  Add flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix well.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well.  Pour batter into a greased bread pan.  Bake at 350 for 55 minutes (the original recipe said 50, but mine took a little longer).  Enjoy!
