Yes, I am like you... I saw the idea and was a bit disgusted. Then I suggested the idea to my parents and THEY were disgusted. But then I tried it... And tried it again... mainly because I could not get enough of this little slice of heaven. It was NOTHING like I thought it would be. Delicious....delicious like peanut butter from the jar or the first sip of a very cold beer on a patio on a hot day. And this isn't BREAD BREAD. Think banana nut bread or zucchini bread.
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, sifted
1/2 cup chickpea(garbanzo bean) flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups vegan sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3 non-eggs (I use Ener-g egg replacer)
3/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup water
1 cup well mashed avocado
3 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups chopped walnuts
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat together "eggs", vanilla, and sugar. Add avocado and oil and blend until smooth. Add all sifted dry ingredients slowly. Using a mixer, cream the mixture together, adding the 1/2 cup water, until it is silky like. Stir in the nuts. Pour the whole mixture into a lightly greased, loaf pan. Bake for 75-90 minutes at 350 degrees depending on your oven. This is a very thick bread, so it takes a long time to cook. When it is done, the top will be somewhat sweet crusty and a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool before slicing. Voila!
