Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and brown sugar to the bananas. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oat bran, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Slowly stir in the low-fat milk to loosen the batter. If you are using chopped walnuts, fold them in at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is, or lightly toasted with a touch of honey or almond butter. Enjoy!
