Sweet Soy-vegan blog

I wanted to make some banana bread because I had two huge ripe bananas. I got this recipe off of "The Baking Bird" blog, it is for Veganomicon's Lower-Fat Banana Bread.
I also wanted to frost some banana bread with the cinnamon-vanilla frosting I found from az central, they are actually frosting shots.
Here is da recipe!
2 LG bananas
1/4 cup applesaue (I used apple buttah')
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup turbinado sugar
2 T molasses
2 c whole wheat white flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
(I left out the 1/4 tsp nutmeg. ick.)
350F. grease loaf pan. in large bowl, mash bananas with mashy the egg man, add apple butter, oil, sugar, and molasses and whisk. Sift in flour, soda, cinnamon and salt. Use a wooden spoon to mix wet and dry together until just combined. Spread in pan and bake 45-50 mins. Let cool completely.
WOW. this banana bread, sliced up and spread with the cinnamon vanilla frosting is so scrumptious. wowsers. this is something i will bake when i am a grandma.

Here is the frosting so you can just bake up the bread & frosting at once!
1/4 cup tofutti cream cheese
2 Tbs. veg. marg.
1/2 tsp cinnamon (the good vietnamese kind)
pinch salt
1 tsp pure vanilla
2-1/4 c. powdered sugar
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, cinnamon, salt and vanilla. Use an electric mixer with the whisk attachment on high to beat until well mixed. Add the powdered sugar and mix on low until just incorporated.

Increase speed to high and beat until thick and smooth. (Frosting can be refrigerated. Allow 10 to 15 minutes after removing from refrigerator before proceeding.)
