Banana Bread VI

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a standard loaf pan.

Whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl until evenly combined.

In a separate bowl, combine sugar and applesauce, stirring until blended.

Add egg whites to the applesauce mixture and whisk until smooth.

Stir mashed bananas and skim milk into the wet ingredients until incorporated.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.

Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
