Ingredients

7 medium ripe bananas (22 oz or 2 2/3 cup total, mashed chunky with fork)
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce ((4 oz ))
2-1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour ((13.5 ounces ))
1-1/2 tsp baking soda

In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients; flour, baking soda and salt with a wire whisk. Set aside.
In a large bowl cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer or stand mixer. Add egg whites, apple sauce and vanilla, and beat at medium speed until thick. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients and blend at low speed until combined, add another 1/3 of the dry ingredients and blend at low speed, add remaining 1/3 of dry ingredients and the mashed bananas and blend at low speed until batter is combined. Do not over mix. Stir in the walnuts.
