* 1¾ cup flour
* 2 tsp baking powder
* ¼ tsp baking soda
* ½ tsp orange peel
* cooking spray

# Preheat oven to 350°F.
# Line a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with waxed paper and spray with cooking spray.
# In a large bowl, combine bananas, oil, beaten egg, juice concentrate and orange peel.
# Stir dry ingredients together and then stir them into banana mixture until just blended.
# Spread the batter in the pan and bake for 45 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
# Cool in a pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

# Comment in the original recipe states that the well-wrapped loaf keeps in the refrigerator and freezes well.
