Banana Chocolate Bread

Cream together
1/3 cup margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar

then beat in
3 Tbsp soymilk
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup mashed bananas

mix dry ingredients
2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp Cardamom
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp allspice
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) (in recent years this as been replaced by a LOT of chocolate chips, which makes the bread different but also very good.)

mix dry stuff with wet stuff

bake in greased pan at 325 or 350 (depending on oven) until done
1 hour+ for loaf pan
30-40 min for muffins

Almond Scones

1.5 cups flour
3/4 cups Almond Paste (from one batch of Almond milk)
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon turbinado sugar
1/2 cup cherries
3/8 cup margarine
1/4-1/2 cup almond milk

Mix dry ingredients, cut in margarine, throw in almond paste, mix fairly well, add 1/4th cup of almond milk and mix very well (I used a mixer the idea is there is less flour/gluten and more stuff in the way, so you want to agitate it.). If after being mixed it is too dry then add more almond milk. Then add cherries. Bake at 400-450 until done, about 15 minutes. Notes: I added to much like to start so then added an extra 1/4th cup flour with baking powder and sugar to match turned our really well. Also the scones don’t brown as much with the almonds as the normal recipe so don’t burn them.
