Vegan banana or cranberry or pumpkin bread

I've been making this for workdays because many gardeners are vegan. I'm a cook, not a baker, which means I don't like measuring things, so this is semi-informal.

Grind 2T flax seeds in a clean coffee grinder, mix with 5T water, this is your egg replacer
Add a can of cranberries or pumpkin or 3 ripe bananas
Add 1/3 c neutral oil like sunflower
Add a splash of vanilla
Add 1t salt
Add some honey or jam if you used pumpkin, it might be sweet enough if banana, it definitely is sweet enough if cranberries.
Mix in about 1.5 to 2c flour, generally a mix of whole wheat, rye, coconut, etc. GF flours are ok, too. You want a moderately thick dough.
Mix in 1/2t baking powder.
Chocolate chips or nuts or whatever are good

Pour into oiled pan
350 40 min, put a knife in, if it comes out clean it's done
