                    I made this once to take up to my boyfriend's cottage, but we ate the whole thing almost right out of the oven. This is my very favourite baked treat. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, softened  |  
                                                1/2 cup sugar  |  
                                                2 cups flour  |  
                                                1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon baking soda  |  
                                                2 bananas, mashed  |  
                                                1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup soymilk  |  
                                                1 teaspoon vanilla  |  
                                                1/2 cup nuts or 1/2 cup chocolate chips (whatever) (optional)  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Mix sugar and butter. 2. Stir in other dry ingredients. 3. Mix with the rest of the ingredients. 4. Put into sprayed 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch bread pan. 5. Bake for 50 minutes at 350. 6. YUM! 7. This recipe is adapted from the PETA cookbook.                              |
