liberian banana rice bread (vegan)

my roommate is vegan and she's always cooking up delicious vegan food. delicous food that doesn't include meat, cheese or milk?! i know it's hard to believe cuz i like to put meat, cheese, milk and butter on everything but she pulls it off. she especially makes excellent brownies and raspberry chocolate cookies. since i'm always eating her food but she usually can't eat mine, i like to occasionally make something that is vegan just to share with her. this time i found a recipe for banana rice bread. as soon as i saw it was made with cream of rice i had to try it. i love baking with cornmeal, cream of wheat or cream of rice. it gives the baked goods a grainy consistency that i love. it's also easy to make. mix everything together, pour, bake then eat.

Yield: 8 x 12-inch bread

Combine:
2 cups CREAM OF RICE (cereal)
3 cups MASHED BANANAS
1/2 cup VEGETABLE OIL

1 tsp. BAKING SODA.

Test with a toothpick (when it comes out dry, bread is done)
