1 c. mashed ripe bananas (the browner the better)
1/2 c. applesauce
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. light brown sugar
4 egg whites
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
2 c. flour
walnuts, raisins (optional; if using, throw in with oil and mix)

Step 1: With an electric mixer or fork or potato masher, mash bananas and add applesauce in bowl.

Step 2: Add the egg whites and both sugars, mix well.

Step 3: In another bowl, blend flour, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder.

Step 4: Slowly, while stirring add flour mixture to the banana mixture.

Step 5: Add the oil and mix well. Pour into a greased loaf pan. (I use Pam cooking spray.)

Step 6: Bake at 350° for 50 to 55 minutes, sometimes longer, test with toothpick. You may have to cover top with aluminum foil while you wait for the inside to finish baking. Cool for 15 minutes in pan. Enjoy!
