Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
2 slightly beaten egg whites
1 c. mashed banana
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. cooking oil
Nonstick cooking spray

Directions:
In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

In a large mixing bowl stir together egg whites, banana, sugar and oil.  Stir flour mixture into banana mixture just until moistened.

Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Spread batter in prepared pan.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes.  Remove from pan and cool thoroughly on a wire rack.  For easier slicing, wrap the bread in plastic wrap and store overnight.
