Directions
Preheat over to 350º (180ºC).
Grease and flour a 9 x 5 inch (2 L) loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose and whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, beans, oil, milk, orange juice concentrate, orange zest and vanilla.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; whisk to combine.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until cooked through (when a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean).
Tip: If you don’t have navy beans, other mild beans such as romano or white kidney beans work equally well.
Serves 12.
