Creamy banana bread

Have I put this one on here before? I can't remember and Jennifer was asking me about it, so I'll post it here.
I'm always looking for ways to use soy flour in place of all purpose flour, It's not easy, except for when making banana bread, it comes out great!!

I use this recipe, but instead of flour I use the soy flour. I cook it for 30 - 35 min. and I add chocolate chips. The flavor is a little weird at first, if you're not used to it, but with the choc. chips, it helps a lot!!

Ingredients

* 1/2 cup margarine, softened
* 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
* 1 cup white sugar
* 2 eggs (I use egg whites only, or one whole egg and one white)
* 2 - 3 mashed mashed bananas
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 3/4 cup chopped pecans
* 2 tablespoons brown sugar
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Cream the butter or margarine and cream cheese together. Gradually add the white sugar, and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, and soda; mix until batter is just moist.
2. In a small bowl, mix together chopped pecans, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and cinnamon.
3. Divide 1/2 batter into two greased and floured 8x4 inch loaf pans. Sprinkle pecan mixture over batter in pans, and top with remaining batter.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

I sometimes use the brown sugar and cinnamon thing, but most of time I just leave it out and make plain banana bread with the choc. chips.
