Found on Allrecipes.com but modified from someone else's modifications.

3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or you can use 100% WW flour)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 beaten egg whites (or a whole egg)
1 cup banana, mashed
1/2 cup applesauce
chopped nuts if desired

*Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.             
*In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon. 
*in small bowl combine egg whites, bananas and applesauce; stir just until combined. Mix with dry (adding nuts if desired) and pour batter into prepared pan. (will be thick and goopy)
*Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean. Turn out onto wire rack and allow to cool before slicing.
