-1tsp vanilla
-1 rounded tsp cinnamon

  2. Cream margarine and sugar together, and bananas and mash until combnded.
  3. Add soy milk, cider vinegar, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, and salt, mix well.
  4. Add remaining ingredients, mix well.
  5. Pour batter into pan and bake for 60-70 mins until a knife inserted comes out clean.
