Adapted from "Baking With Agave Nectar" by Ania Catalano
| 12 | ounces firm silken tofu (Catalano recommends brands sold in non-refrigerated aseptic packages ) |
| 1/2 | cup agave nectar |
| 2 1/2 | bananas (1 cup mashed ripe bananas) |
| 1/4 | cup unsweetened apple juice (I used water) |
| 2 | teaspoons vanilla extract |
| 1 | teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 1/2 | teaspoon ground nutmeg |
| 1/4 | cup canola oil |
| 1 3/4 | cups whole wheat pastry flour |
| 1 | tablespoon baking powder |
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt |
| 1 | cup pitted dates, chopped (about 10 dates) |
| 1/2 | cup pecans, chopped |
- Method
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Coat a 4 or 5-by-8-inch loaf pan with nonstick canola oil spray and flour lightly.
- In a food processor, combine tofu, agave nectar, bananas, juice, vanilla, spices and Canola oil. Blend until smooth and creamy, two-three minutes.
- In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add tofu mixture and incorporate into flour until integrated.
- Fold in dates, nuts and flax seeds (if using).
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes (KOD note: It took my loaf closer to 60 minutes) or until a skewer inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
- Store in refrigerator, tightly wrapped.
