BANANA CORNBREAD
Having vegan friends in college forced me to find some recipes that are friendly to their choice if I wanted to entertain. This recipe is delicious whether or not you are vegan. I've made it with almond, rice, soy, and regular milk and they are all very similar to identical in flavor and consistency.

CORNMEAL BANANA BREAD (HEALTHIER)
The inspiration for this lovely and kinda healthy banana bread comes from the blog http://www.familyfreshcooking.com/2011/01/13/banana-almond-snack-cake-recipe/. I like the use of cornmeal as it gives the bread a heartier texture. This is more of a bread than a cake, so keep that in mind if youre looking for a cake more than a bread. Please note: I like my banana breads without added sugar, but feel free to add 1/4 c or so if you like your breads sweeter.

Steps:
- First melt your bananas in the microwave if you have not already done so. Set aside to cool to room temperature (this is important because otherwise your egg might curdle later on).
- Then combine flour, cornmeal, oat flour, oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a large bowl.
- In a second bowl combine bananas, almond butter, egg, milk and almond extract and mix well.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough should be rather thick, but not dry. If needed add a splash more milk or two.
- Pour batter into a prepared loaf pan and bake in the pre-heated oven at 180 C/350 F for 35-40 minutes.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!

Tips:
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- To make the bread vegan, use a flax egg instead of a regular egg. To make a flax egg, simply whisk together 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it gels.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- For a sweeter bread, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar.
- If you like nuts in your banana bread, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
- For a more moist bread, add an extra 1/4 cup of mashed banana.
- Be sure to not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough bread.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
