Grandma's Banana Bread

Ingredients
3 ripe mashed bananas
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs (vegan Ener-G egg replacer)
1/2 cup cold filtered water
2 cups spelt flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees & grease loaf pan with butter (Earth Balance)
2. In one bowl mix wet ingredients together, then in a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients together, and then mix the two together until smooth (don't over mix or use electric mixer)
3. Pour mixture into loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

This is my Grandma's wonderful banana bread recipe that I slightly altered to make healthier. I added an extra banana, substituted crisco with coconut oil, the white flour with spelt flour, and the eggs with a vegan egg replacer. I was very pleased with how the bread turned out! I think it was the best banana bread I have ever made! I think the best switch was the coconut oil because it made the bread super moist. I will be making this more often. It's great for potlucks because it's easy to travel with and most people are fans of banana bread. I made it for my work's xmas party.
