Directions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Oil spray a 12-cup bundt pan (my preference) or 9 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan, or rub the sides and bottom with unsalted margarine.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oat bran, sugar substitute, and baking soda.
Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together egg substitute, bananas, oil, and vanilla.
The mixing can be done by hand or with an electric mixer on slow to medium speed.
Add the dry ingredients and beat thoroughly.
Stir in walnuts and orange zest by hand.
The batter will be thick, so be sure to spread it evenly in the pan.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
If needed, bake a little longer, but do not overbake, or the bread will dry out.
