Ingredients

2 cups Self Rising Flour ((I used 2 cups AP flour + 3 tsp Baking powder + 1 tsp salt))
15 oz. can black beans (– melted)
3 eggs
15 oz. can black beans (Light)
3 bananas (– ripe, chopped)
1 cup walnuts
15 oz. can black beans

Method

Reserve ½ cup walnuts for garnish.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8” circular baking pan or 9”x 5” loaf pan.
Add bananas, flour, eggs, butter, sugar, nuts & raisins to the food processor; pulse till well combined. (I had some technical problems with my processor when I tried to turn it on after dumping all the ingredients in it; so I had to dump everything back into a bowl and use a hand mixer to mix. It was a little annoying cleaning up the mess, but the bread turned out just fine).
Pour into the prepared pan; arrange the reserved walnuts on the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan.
