Vegan baking - does anyone have any good recipes?
Answers:
This is my favorite recipe:
Tofu Banana Bread:
2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (whatever kind you prefer)
1/2-1 cup evaporated cane juice/Sucanat (calls for 1 cup, but I find less is good if the bananas are super sweet)
1/4 cup canola or olive oil
2 cups mashed banana
3/4 cup silken tofu (the kind in the box)
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 cup walnuts or pecans
1 t vanilla
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1/4 t ground ginger
Cream tofu, sugar, oil, and half of the mashed banana. Stir in remaining banana and vanilla.
Sift dry ingredients together. Combine with wet mixture. Fold in nuts.
Pour into greased loaf pan and bake at 350 F for 40-55 minutes.

2. Add red and green peppers, mushrooms, tomato and onion to tofu in skillet.
3. Add water and lemon pepper seasoning.
4. Cover with medium high heat for 10 minutes (This is what gives it the rich texture).
